The movie stars an actor like Ajay Devgn, so everyone thought it would attract a lot of viewers and make a lot of money. But the first-day earnings were much lower than expected, barely reaching ?5 crore. This has made people wonder if the movie can recover from such a bad start.

Critics on social media say the movie didn't do well for a few reasons, like not enough advertising, tough competition from other movies, and not getting much attention from audiences. Even though the story was good and the actors did well, "Maidaan" didn't connect with viewers, so not many people went to see it in theatres.

When Maidaan Filmmkaer Talked About The Film

He told Pinkvilla ¡°Ajay sir said yes to Maidaan just by listening to the subject, there were no questions asked. However, I had my doubts about how Ajay Devgn will play the role of Syed Abdul Rahim. We often create an image in our minds, and in my head, his image was of Singham.¡±

He went on to add, ¡°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.¡±

In an interview with Telegraph, the filmmaker said while talking about the film, " I had no idea about Syed Abdul Rahim. One day Boney Kapoor called me and told me about the idea of making a film on Rahim Saab. When I heard it, I couldn¡¯t believe it was a true story. Nobody knew the story of Rahim Saab, his team, and the golden time of football. At that very moment, I agreed to make the film."

Talking about Ajay Devgn, he said, He is a director¡¯s actor. I asked him one day, ¡®Don¡¯t you feel like saying roll camera action since you are a director yourself?¡¯ He said he was so satisfied with everything that he was learning and enjoying the shooting process. He has given whatever I have asked for. I remember meeting him and narrating the script. He was already on board as the principal discussion was done by Boney Kapoor. It was a one-hour-50-minute narration. After that, he said, ¡®You tell me what I need to do, I am there.¡¯
