Ajay Devgn has been getting an overwhelming response for his performance in the recently released film Maidaan. The sports drama is loved by all genres. Recently, Karan Johar also joined the trend and praised the film. Though he has yet to watch it but he has already called the film Ajay Devgn’s career-best performance.
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 tells the tale of coach SA Rahim and his football team that won the gold medal at the 1962 Asian Games. The film has opened to positive reviews. Apart from Ajay Devgn, the film also stars Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and many other young actors.
Take a look here:
To note, Maidaan is based on football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, under whose leadership the Indian football team won the Asian Games in 1951 and 1962. The Indian football team had players like Chunni Goswami, PK Banerjee, Balaram, Franco, and Arun Ghosh. Ajay would be essaying the role of Syed Abdul Rahim to tell the story of this unsung hero who was responsible for taking Indian football to new heights and winning accolades for the country.
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.” The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
Apart from this, Ajay Devgn also has Singham Again in his kitty. It was supposed to be released on August 15 this year. However, as per the latest reports, the film has been postponed as the shoot is not yet complete. A new release date will be announced soon, likely around Diwali. As such, Rohit Shetty will also avoid a clash with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 – The Rule.
