Maidaan Trailer: Ajay Devgn Brings Back the Golden Era of Football, Pays Tribute to Coach Syed Abdul Rahim

Ajay Devgn's new sports drama Maidaan, which blends history and football seamlessly, is an addition to Bollywood's archive of sports dramas. The trailer of Amit Ravindernath Sharma's directorial is out today and it treads the path of India's glorious days in football. The path to victory is not a smooth one as one can expect.

Based on legendary coach Syed Abdul Rahim, Ajay Devgn is a man who breathes football. His wife (played by Priyamani) calls football his first love. Set in the timeline of 1950-60s, Syed Abdul Rahim dreams to form a world class football team which will put India on the world map.

Based on their talents and without considering their socio-economic conditions, Syed Abdul Rahim chooses underdogs for the national team. When the government has no faith in the team, Syed Abdul Rahim trains the young men to achieve one dream - a gold medal in Asian Games. If he fails, he promises not to coach a team ever.
