Ajay Devgn-starrer Maidaan to now release on Dussehra 2021

Ajay Devgn-starrer Maidaan will resume shooting from January 2021 and release on Dussehra later in the year. The film has already been shot across Lucknow, Kolkata and Mumbai and was set to start its final schedule when it was stalled due to Covid-19. 

The primary shooting of the film is already 65% completed and the last schedule will now end by April 2021. Considering the heavy VFX work on the film which is already in progress across London, Canada and LA, the film’s release date has been shifted. The film is now all set to have a worldwide theatrical release on Dussehra 2021, October 15, 2021. 

Inspired by the story of Syed Abdul Rahim, Maidaan will showcase the journey of one of the finest coaches that emerged from India, who put India on the global map.

Directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma of Badhai Ho fame, the film also features Priyamani, Gajraj Rao and Bengali actor Rudranil Ghosh. The screenplay and dialogues are written by Saiwyn Quadras and Ritesh Shah respectively. 

Maidaan is produced by Zee Studios, Boney Kapoor, Akash Chawla, and Arunava Joy Sengupta. It is set to release on October 15, 2021.
