Maidaan director Amit Sharma has revealed that there are no similarities between his film and Shah Rukh Khan’s Chak De India.He says, “Football is just a medium…” | Hindi Movie News
Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn will be playing the role of a football coach in Boney Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Maidan’. The film revolves around the story of Syed Abdul Rahim, who trains a team of young players from a slum to introduce Indian football to the international stage. After the trailer was released, some people compared ‘Maidan’ and ‘Chak De India!’. Reacting to this similarity, filmmaker Amit Ravindanath Sharma said that the two films are not similar.
In an interview with India Today, Amit said, “As soon as sports movies come out, people compare these movies because of the stories of coaches and players. Even before watching the movie, people think that this too is similar.” I imagine it’s a similar movie.”
He added, “There are no similarities between these movies, other than maybe 22 players chasing one ball on the field. The stories are different, the fights are different. This is also a sports biography.” It’s not a movie, it’s Abdul Rahim’s journey. Maidan is a story about his mental journey. Football is just a medium.”
Chak De India, directed by Simit Amin, featured Shah Rukh Khan as the coach of the national women’s hockey team.
Amit Ravindanath Sharma also said that he had always wanted to do a biopic but Maidan was like a challenge. “A challenge is always good because you get tired of making the same movies. The most important thing is that the audience finally gets to know this guy. They know he’s a country man. You need to know what he has done for him. There is no patriotism there, just his utmost love for India and football,” the filmmaker said.
Apart from Ajay Devgn, ‘Maidan’ also stars Priyamani and Gajraj Rao in important roles. The film will hit the big screens on April 10th.
