Ajay Devgn's Maidaan Incurs Losses As Set Remains Unused, Remains Exposed To Monsoons In June

Earlier this year there were reports about the makers of the film Maidaan to be making a makeshift stadium in the western suburb of Mumbai to film football sequences for the film which is based on the life of football coach Syed Abdul Rahim. It has been three months since the set has been erected and since then, the set is absolutely desolated!

Well, Midday reported, erecting the set cost over Rs 7 crores and now with the lockdown in place, everything has gone for a toss.

Midday reports a source as saying, the filmmaker had rented over a dozen acres of the plot for two months and the shoot for the film was slated to behind on 21^st March but they had to call off the shoot on the 16^th of March in the wake of lockdown.

The report further quotes the source as saying, “Amit R Sharma was to shoot the last schedule which focused on all the football matches which will be shown in the film. The set was complete with toilets, make-up rooms and a PCR in place. With the set being unused there will be a considerable financial setback. If the lockdown is extended beyond 3^rd May and runs into June, the outdoor set faces another problem in the form of monsoons. “If exposed to rains 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."
