Maidaan, starring Ajay Devgn, has been in production for five years and has been delayed multiple times from its intended release date of 2020. The picture, which is now due to be released on Eid in April 2024, has faced difficulties on an annual basis, ranging from scheduling conflicts to unforeseen situations.
The film's new release date will put it in direct competition with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.
Ajay Devgn had originally confirmed the release date of February 17, 2023, in 2022, following several postponements. The teaser, which debuted the previous year, provided a glimpse into the golden age of Indian football from 1952 to 1962, highlighting the team's outstanding qualification for the Olympics despite hurdles such as a lack of proper footwear.
Amit Sharma directs Maidaan, which tells the true story of Syed Abdul Rahim, an unsung hero who gave honor to India.
