The
wait
is
finally
over!
The
release
date
of
Ajay
Devgn's
upcoming
sports
drama
Maidaan
has
finally
been
announced.
The
movie
is
scheduled
to
arrive
in
cinema
halls
on
June
3,
2022.
Ajay
took
to
his
Twitter
to
make
this
announcement.
He
tweeted,
"Maidaan,
A
story
that
will
resonate
with
every
Indian,
a
film
that
I
feel
very
strongly
about.
Mark
the
date
on
your
calendar.
Releasing
worldwide
on
3rd
June,
2022."
The
film
helmed
by
Amit
Ravindernath
Sharma,
has
Devgn
essaying
the
role
of
late
Syed
Abdul
Rahim
who
had
coached
and
managed
the
Indian
football
team
from
1950
until
his
death
in
1963.
He
was
known
as
the
architect
of
Indian
football.
It
is
to
be
noted
here
that
this
Ajay
Devgn-starrer
had
a
tumultuous
shooting
schedule
with
several
roadblocks
caused
by
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
a
cyclone
that
ravaged
Mumbai
last
year.
Further,
the
film
was
also
in
the
news
for
Boney
Kapoor's
tussle
with
SS
Rajamouli
over
Maidaan-RRR
clash
at
the
box
office.
Both
the
films
feature
Ajay.
However
making
its
way
all
through
roadblocks,
Maidaan
is
now
finally
ready
to
release
in
theatres
on
June
3,
2022.
Earlier
in
an
interview
with
an
entertainment
portal,
the
film's
director
Amit
Sharma
had
heaped
praise
on
Ajay
and
said
that
the
superstar
deserves
a
National
Award
for
this
movie.
"The
level
of
dedication
Ajay
Sir
has
shown
has
to
be
seen
to
be
believed.
He
has
not
only
sharpened
his
skills
as
a
footballer,
he
made
sure
he
was
all
there
for
the
project
from
the
word
go.
Maidaan
couldn't
have
been
made
without
Ajay
Sir.
I
think
he
deserves
another
National
Award," he
was
quoted
as
saying.
Maidaan
also
features
Priyamani,
Gajraj
Rao
and
Rudranil
Ghosh
in
pivotal
roles.
The
film
is
produced
by
Zee
Studios,
Boney
Kapoor,
Akash
Chawla,
and
Arunava
Joy
Sengupta.
