Sourav Ganguly Urges Fans To Watch Ajay Devgn’s ‘Maidaan’:

Cricket icon Sourav Ganguly, affectionately called Dada, shared his thoughts on the newly released sports film ‘Maidaan’, which stars Ajay Devgn. He described the film as a cinematic journey worth experiencing.

His review stated, “Don’t miss out on the cinematic experience of #Maidaan, a captivating portrayal of India’s legendary football coach, Syed Abdul Rahim, and the golden era of Indian football. Witness the iconic Indian football stars brought back to life on the big screen in this must-watch Indian sports film (sic).”

The film also received accolades from director-producer Karan Johar, who expressed his eagerness to see the movie on Instagram. Taking to his Instagram stories, Karan wrote, “Have heard the most incredible things about MAIDAAN!! I also can’t wait to watch what is universally touted as @ajaydevgn’s career best performance! @iamitrsharma @boney.kapoor @zeestudiosofficial.”

‘Maidaan’ received rave reviews from critics and viewers alike. By its second day, it had garnered Rs 2.75 crore, bringing its total earnings to Rs 9.85 crore. As of April 12, the movie saw an 8.81 percent occupancy rate across the Hindi-speaking regions.

Under Amit Sharma’s direction, ‘Maidaan’ unfolds as a biographical sports drama with Ajay Devgn portraying the football coach Syed Abdul Rahim. The script is a collaborative effort between Salwyn Quadras, Aman Rai, Atul Shahi, and Amit Sharma. The film stars Ajay Devgn alongside Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, Devyansh Tripathi, Boney Kapoor, Nitanshi Goel, and Aayesha Vindhara in key roles. Production of the sports drama is a joint venture between Zee Studios, Bayview Projects, and Fresh Lime Films.

Regarding the film, producer Boney Kapoor said, “I was amazed that not many are aware of someone as significant as Syed Abdul Rahim. He’s an unsung hero whose achievements must be saluted. His team had heroes like Chunni Goswami, PK Banerjee, Balaram, Franco, and Arun Ghosh. It takes someone like Ajay Devgn to play Syed Abdul Rahim. With him on board, I can just hope that our film inspires youngsters to play football and India soon to bring the World Cup home.”
