Ajay Devgn honoured for Maidaan role

Ajay Devgn Ajay Devgn has bagged the Best Actor (Male) – Movies (Popular) award at the Movified Digital Awards for his powerful performance in the sports biopic Maidaan. Celebrating talent across OTT and theatrical releases, the second edition of the awards honoured storytelling excellence shaped by audience voices. Ajay Devgn starrer 'Maidaan', which hit the theatres in April this year, is received a decent response after its OTT premiere. A biographical drama about footballer Syed Abdul Rahim, 'Maidaan' featured Ajay Devgn in the lead role. The director also stated that during the theatrical release, not many people watched it, and all those who watched have 'only praised' it. In an earlier interview with BT, Ajay had shared how viewers' choices are different now. He said, 'I think that phase is over. Everybody knows that we are 50; we are still here and working. Times have changed. Viewers are accepting different kinds of films, which actors couldn't do earlier — right from a film like Raid (2018) to many other movies, where age is not really the criterion. Today's 50 is like yesterday's 40 or even 35. We feel as fit as we felt 25 years ago. So, I don't think that the age factor plays on the audience's mind. And in any case, I would always like to play characters that suit me. In fact, I get uncomfortable if I have to play a 30-year-old. If you see my last few films, I have never tried to play characters that are very young. Also, who doesn't know that I am 50 and my colleagues are either older or younger than me?'
