Priyamani In, Keerthy Suresh Out

We have already reported that Keerthy Suresh has walked out from her upcoming Bollywood debut Maidaan, based on the golden era of Indian football.

Maidaan has been in the news since the time it was announced. Ajay Devgn is playing the lead role. The film will depict how the Indian football team brought glory to the country between 1952 and 1962, under the guidance of Syed Abdul Raheem. Now as per the latest update, National Award-winning actress Priyamani has been roped in to play the leading lady of the movie.

In this film, Ajay Devgn will portray the role of Syed Abdul Rahim, who served as coach and manager of the Indian football team from 1950 until his death in 1963. Keerthy Suresh, who was roped in to play the character of a mother, left the film as the makers felt that she looked too young.

Maidaan is bankrolled by Zee Studios, Boney Kapoor, Akash Chawla, and Arunava Joy Sengupta. It is scheduled to hit the screens on 27th November.

Priyamani is one of the most famous actresses of South Indian films. She was seen in movies like Paruthiveeram, Malaikottai, Golimar, and Rakhta Charitra. On the other side, Keerthy Suresh is busy with her upcoming bilingual drama Penguin.
