Boney Kapoor (Producer) said,

"The entire set is gone except the pitch. Though the pitch, too, has suffered some damage, the curator has assured us that he will manage to salvage it. But we have already incurred an expense of Rs 30cr and work is still pending, The sets have been completely damaged and I will be rebuilding it for the third time"

Whenever this film is mentioned, it is said that inside reports are GREAT and will emerge a big Blockbuster. After hearing rough plot of it, I do think there is potential of that happening.

Hopefully it look good, because generally these type of films look really poor.

charlie Jatinder Inside reports are GREAT and will emerge a big Blockbuster.

Sure, seeing Boney rebuilding the sets for the third time,(as per reports) and seeing the costs involved in doing so, shows how much trust he has in the project.

Zin shows how much trust he has in the project.

here Boney talk about Maidaan. From how he explain the shooting of matches practically, I am hopeful there won't be too much of CGI (BIGIL matches done by AD's VFX were awful).

Amit Sharma did really good job in Badhaai Ho, so this is one film I am actually interested in how it turns out.

Flop.

Boney Kapoor 👇

“What I am going through is horrible. I don’t want to be reminded of it. If I think about the pressure or feelings or loss, I will start crying. If I think about the budget overshooting and expenses pilling up, I might go into depression.

Mera dil hi nahin kar raha ke set dekhu abhi. (I don’t even feel like looking at the set right now).”

"Fortunately, thank God, there was no casualty and no one was injured. Luckily all 40-50 people who were on the set, were fine. It would have been worse had anything happened to anyone.”

STOP THE SHOOTING…..

Pandemics, Cyclones and what not, stop shooting for some time, compensate the workers, and restart when things settle down.

Maidaan will be a non potboiler commercial movie like Ajay Devgn has done in the past like Gangaajal, Apaharan, Drishyam, Raid and ect. However, I strongly feel this going to be a big Hit and more successful than the movies I mention in my first sentence.

There are five reasons:

1. Good director

2. Content

3. Inside reports is looking fab

4. Ajay Devgn's critically acclaimed performance. It's possible that he win his 3rd National Award if luck prevails.

5. Word of mouth may carry this film and proceed with a potential Blockbuster

As a fan of Ajay Devgn, I want this film to succeed at the Box Office.
