Maidaan teaser out

The teaser starts with a powerful commentary as Indian footballers prep themselves to play on the ground drenched in rain. Maidaan is set in 1952-1962, which is considered the golden era of Indian football and follows the story of a less-talked-about hero who created history and records for India.

Maidaan’s teaser will also remind you of Shah Rukh Khan’s Chak De India as both films show the same theme and drama.

Ajay Devgn shared the teaser on his social media and captioned it as, ‘Maidaan mein utrenge Gyarah par dikhenge Ek.’

Bankrolled by Boney Kapoor, Akash Chawla, Arunava Joy Sengupta, and Zee Studios, Maidaan’s music has been composed by Academy Award winner AR Rahman.

Syed Abdul Rahim, the architect of modern Indian football

Syed Abdul Rahim, popularly known as Rahim Saab, served as an Indian football coach and manager of the Indian national team from 1950 until he passed away in 1963. Cited as the architect of modern Indian football, the Indian team, under his mentorship, won Gold medals in Asian Games, played semi-finals of the Summer Olympics, and won the titles of the Colombo Cup.

Rahim succumbed to cancer on June 11, 1963, after being bedridden for almost six months.

Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn will also be seen in Bholaa which is the official remake of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film Kaithi. The film will also star Tabu, Raai Laxmi, and Deepak Dobriyal in important roles.

The Bombay High Court on Thursday dismissed a complaint against Salman Khan and his bodyguard Nawaz Shaikh in connection with the 2019 journalist assault case. The complaint was filed by journalist Ashok Pandey who accused Khan and Shaikh of snatching his phone and indulging in misconduct and assault.

The case was filed in a metropolitan court in Andheri following which the actor and his bodyguard challenged it in the Bombay High Court.

The journalist had filed a private complaint before the Magistrate and had alleged that the actor snatched his phone while cycling on a Mumbai street when some media people started clicking his pictures. He also accused the actor of arguing and threatening him.

Senior Advocate Aabad Ponda had argued that Khan only asked his bodyguard to stop the journalist from clicking any pictures.

According to the complaint filed by Pandey, the incident took place on April 24. Justice Dangre pointed out the change in Pandey’s statements which had earlier only mentioned his phone being snatched and not being assaulted by Salman Khan and his bodyguard.

The journalist Ashok Pandey had filed a complaint alleging offences under sections 324, 392,426,506(ii) and 34 of the IPC and sought for an FIR to be registered under Section 156(3). The court had quashed his request for an FIR and directed investigation under Section 202 of the CrPc.

Justice Dangre also noted that the Andheri court’s magistrate, while issuing the summons, had not followed due procedure.

Taapsee Pannu has landed in a controversy after the Hing Rakshak Sangathan filed a complaint against her for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments and spreading obscenity.

The actor shared the video of her walking the ramp on her Instagram handle and wrote what the princess gown and queen-like jewels looked like. She also mentioned that the neckpiece is from Reliance Jewels’ Akshaya Tritiya Collection inspired by the majestic Thanjavur.

To complete her look, she flaunted her natural curls and opted for minimal makeup to balance the statement jewellery. The plunging neck left space for the neckpiece to fit.
