Producer Boney Kapoor is extremely upset over the upcoming clash between his much-awaited sports-drama Maidaan starring Ajay Devgn, and director SS Rajamouli’s historical drama, Roudram Ranam Rudhiram (RRR).

In a recent interview, Kapoor lashed out at Rajamouli alleging lack of camaraderie among Indian filmmakers. 

Here’s What He Said 

“The clash between RRR and Maidaan is very unfortunate and at the same time, it is unethical,” Boney Kapoor told Forbes. 

The Background 

For the unversed, Maidaan was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres in August this year. 

However, the completion of the production got delayed due to the nationwide lockdown owing to the COVID-19 global health scare. 

This forced the filmmakers to move the release date to October 15, coinciding with Dussehra holiday.

Boney Kapoor refused to let Rajamouli off the hook accusing him of “strong-arm tactics and bullying.” He claimed that the slated box office clash of these films will further add to woes of the film industry, which has already been ravaged by the Covid-19 induced disruption. 

RRR Cast & Crew 

Other than Jr NTR and Ram Charan, the ensemble cast of RRR also includes Alia Bhatt, Samuthirakani, Olivia Morris, Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson. 

If not for the pandemic, RRR would have released in January this year. The film has been in the production since 2018.
