It provides a small peek into India's illustrious past in football. The movie is based on true events.

The Indian football squad during this time accomplished the amazing achievement of qualifying for the Olympics twice.

It is expected to rekindle viewers' enthusiasm for football while showcasing a noteworthy period in Indian sports history.

Maidaan is helmed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma and supported by a prestigious group of producers that includes Zed Studios, Boney Kapoor, Arunava Joy Sengupta, and Akash Chawla. The movie has been in the works for the past five years or so. The release has been postponed for more than four years. Each year, the movie's release date is rescheduled because of a conflict or an unanticipated event.

The original plan was to release Maidaan in 2020. However, the film suffered a setback as the set had to be dismantled by producer Boney Kapoor in 2020 because of the lockdown implemented to contain the new coronavirus outbreak. The set was then devastated by Cyclone Tauktae in May 2021.

But finally, Ajay's movie will be released for Eid. However, there won't be a standalone release for the movie. It clashes with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar on April 10.
