Boney Kapoor’s sports bio-pic Maidaan directed by Amit Sharma has been delayed almost by two years due to the pandemic. Now when they had finally zeroed in on a date, February 17, one hears of Devgn “requesting” Boney Kapoor to postpone his release of Maidaan so that Devgn’s Bholaa, scheduled for March 30, will be released first.
Now it is believed Maidaan is scheduled for 12 May.
Bholaa, for those who entered the theatre late, is the Hindi remake of the Tamil hit Kaithi.
The “request” to shift the film Maidaan to give Bholaa priority has apparently not gone down well with Boney Kapoor.
While Boney remained unavailable for comment a friend of his shared , “When you ask Maidaan to be shifted to make way for another film you are clearly stating that you have no faith in Maidaan, and that’s not a very good sign at all. Boney has postponed the release at least three times. To ask him to set aside his film one more time is very unfair.”
One doesn’t know if Boney has agreed to comply to Ajay Devgn’s “request” willingly. But from the look of it, he didn’t have much of a choice, considering how powerful Devgn is at the moment.
