Maidaan was supposed to mark the Bollywood debut of South actress Keerthy Suresh. However, she opted out of the film a few days ago. It is said that Keerthy, who starred in a period film Mahanati (Tamil and Telugu) in 2018, wasn’t keen on doing one more period movie. Keerthy has been replaced by Priyamani in the film.

Maidaan is directed by Amit Sharma and produced by Zee Studios and Boney Kapoor.

Ajay Devgn kickstarted 2020 with a blockbuster like Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. Apart from Maidaan, he will also be seen this year in movies like RRR and Bhuj: The Pride of India. While the former is slated to release on 30^th July 2020, the latter will hit the screens on 14^th August 2020.
