The upcoming Bollywood sports film Maidaan will be for football what Lagaan was for Cricket and Chak De for Hockey, as per the film’s director Amit Sharma, who is going to make this film on an international scale. The filmmaker is leaving no stone unturned to make this a truly entertaining film and not just another film with the backdrop of sports. He said, “we has invited professional football players from Japan, South Korea, France, and Thailand… there is some problem getting Australian players to come to India because the country is under lockdown.” The shoot with the players will begin once Amit has recovered from Covid. 

 

Maidaan will have a series of matches shown being played between India and other countries. Amit has previously directed the Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Badhaai Ho which was a huge hit. Maidaan stars Ajay Devgn, Keerthy Suresh, Priyamani and Gajraj Rao, among others.
