Ajay Devgn in his forthcoming film Maidaan will be seen playing the role of Syed Abdul Rahim. The biopic is helmed by Amit Ravindrenath Sharma and is called as the 'story of the golden era of Indian football from 1952 to 1962'. Maidaan is being produced by Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios. The announcement of the film was made last year and intrigued everyone with its first look poster.

Now, Ajay took to his social media pages and shared the teaser poster of Maidaan. In the photo, we see young football players covered in dirt while playing the game. The actor captioned the poster stating, "#MaidaanTeaser - Get ready for Maidaan! 27th November 2020 @pillumani #BoneyKapoor @iamitrsharma @freshlimefilms @saiwyn @writish1 @joysengupta04 @skyflierindian @zeestudiosofficial @zeestudiosintl #bayviewprojects @saregama_official @maidaanofficial"

Earlier, south actor Keerthy Suresh was all set to make her Bollywood debut opposite Ajay in Maidaan. However, after she exited, the makers roped in Priyamani to be seen alongside Devgn. 

Maidaan went on floors on August 19, 2019. Meanwhile, talking about Ajay being a part of the film, Boney had earlier told Indian Express, "An actor like Ajay is most apt for essaying this character. We hope that the film inspires millions of youngsters and soon India plays in the World Cup and becomes a potent force in World Football."

The ace producer also said, "It’s amazing to see football, world’s biggest game, having such a fever in India, and yet our team is not being sent to important tournaments."

Maidaan is releasing on November 27, 2020.
