New Delhi: Superstar Ajay Devgn, who is currently basking in the success of his last release 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior', on Tuesday treated his fans to a new poster of his forthcoming film 'Maidaan' and said that the teaser will arrive soon. 'Maidaan' is based on the 'golden years of Indian football', as put by the makers of the film in its first look. Ajay plays the role of the legendary coach Syed Abdul Rahim, who is said to be the founding father of Indian football. He was an Indian football coach and manager of the Indian national team from 1950 until his death in 1963. He is also regarded as the architect of modern Indian football.

The first poster of 'Maidaan' features a group of football players on the ground. Their muddy feet and actions prove they are determined to play and achieve their goals despite any hardship.
