Days after the final trailer of Ajay Devgn’s ‘Maidaan’ was released, producer Boney Kapoor heaped praise on Indian football legend Syed Abdul Rahim, who inspired the celluloid. Boney shared, “Rahim Saab was a superman. He single-handedly created the entire team. He was such a nationalist, he wanted to win gold for India and eventually, he did despite so many handicaps. And this film will change the way people perceive Indian football for sure.”

`Maidaan` is directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, and features Ajay Devgn portraying the character of Syed Abdul Rahim, a man who devoted his life to football, bringing immense pride to India. Alongside Ajay, the film stars Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and Bengali actor Rudranil Ghosh in pivotal roles.
