Maidaan: Ajay Devgn To Face MAJOR Financial Loss Due To Lockdown?

Ajay Devgn’s much-awaited film Maidaan’s shoot got cancelled and now the makers may have to bear losses worth crores amid the coronavirus lockdown. Reports state that the makers of Maidan had an entire stadium in the western suburbs of Mumbai ready for shooting the climax of the film for Rs 7 crore. The shooting was supposed to begin on March 21 with around 100 crew members. The football sequences were supposed to be shot in that schedule.

The producers of Maidaan are in for a major loss as hey had rented over a dozen acres of the plot to shoot the football sequences, but the shoot was called off on March 16, due to the coronavirus shutdown.

According to a report in Mid Day, a source was quoted saying, “Amit R Sharma [director] was to shoot the last schedule, which focused on all the football matches that will be shown in the film. The set was complete with toilets, make-up rooms and a PCR [production control room] in place. With the set standing unused, there will be a considerable financial setback. If exposed to rains (in case the lockdown is extended beyond May 3), the set will need a complete overhaul. Plus, the schedule requires foreign actors and technicians. Their availability will depend on the condition in their countries. Coordinating everything will be a logistical nightmare”.
