Amit further added, “Syed Abdul Rahim was a very humble man, we did a lot of research, I met players, and I met Hakim sir, who is Rahimji’s son. I started to find out about his mannerisms, the way he spoke, and then I met Ajay sir again and told him I didn’t see many dialogues in the film. I even told him about giving a narration and telling him about Syed Abdul Rahim. I gave him a one-hour narration and he just told me, ‘Tell me what am I supposed to do’. He is a director’s actor and will never question them, I saw this man’s transformation from Singham Ajay Devgn to Sayed Abdul Rahim in Maidaan. Today I openly say it, nobody could have played this role other than Ajay Devgn.”

Maidaan is the story of an esteemed football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, who revolutionized football in India. It also stars Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and Rudranil Ghosh in important roles.

Ajay’s last film Shaitaan emerged as a commercial success. After Maidaan, Ajay has Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, Raid 2, and Singham 3 releasing this year. He also has Golmaal 5, Luv Ranjan’s untitled new project, and De De Pyaar De 2 in the works.
