Boney Kapoor Upset With SS Rajamouli For Clashing RRR With Maidaan: “This Is Most Unethical”

Yesterday, the team behind SS Rajamouli’s RRR revealed that magnum opus would be releasing in cinemas on October 13. While fans are excited to see this multi-starrer in theatres during Dussehra 2021, Boney Kapoor, the producers of Ajay Devgn’s sports biopic, Maidaan isn’t.

For those who do not know, over 6 months ago the makers of the biopic film (on the life of football legend Syed Abdul Rahim) announced that the Devgn starrer would hit cinemas in the Dussehra week. Scroll down to see what Kapoor has to say about Rajamouli releasing his film at the same time.

As reported by Bollywood Hungama, a source revealed that Ajay Devgn had asked SS Rajamouli to speak to Boney Kapoor before announcing RRR’s release date. For the unversed, Ajay plays the lead in the biopic film and a pivotal part in the period drama. The insider said, “Ajay is aware that his prestigious bio-pic Maidaan on football legend Syed Abdul Rahim was due in the Dussehra week this year. He very specifically told Rajamouli to speak to Boney Kapoor before announcing his release date. But Rajamouli went ahead without consulting Boney.”
