In the caption, he wrote, "Maidaan, A story that will resonate with every Indian, a film that I feel very strongly about. Mark the date on your calendar. Releasing worldwide on 3rd June, 2022." Maidaan faced postponement several times due to the pandemic and Mumbai cyclone. The film was initially planned for November 2020.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic made theatres shut down for a long time. As the Maharashtra government recently allowed film theatres to reopen, it rained release date announcements in Bollywood.

National Award-winner Amit Ravindernath Sharma is serving as the director, while Zee Studios is producing the film in collaboration with Bayview Projects. Ajay Devgn was last seen in Bhuj: The Pride Of India that premiered on Disney+ Hotstar. The actor currently has several films in his pipeline. Apart from Maidaan, the actor will star in Mayday alongside Amitabh Bachchan.
