He explained that most of the movie scenes are to be shot on the ground and hence the coming monsoon may spoil the sets.

The 64-year-old producer told, "So after discussing it with my team we took this decision to dismantle the set. Hopefully, the state and Central Government will be taking some important steps in upcoming days for the film industry."

Kapoor mentioned that he is 'hopeful' to start the shoot of the biographical movie from September, ensuring the guidelines given by the government.

"Most of our talent team is from foreign, so unless the talent team comes to India, we won't be able to start the process," he said.

"Hopefully once the lockdown is over, will start the work again but yes under the Rules and regulations issued by the government, only then," Kapoor added.

Previously, the flick was set to release on 27 November, 2020, which was later pushed to 11 December this year, as announced by the lead actor, Devgn.

Maidaan is a sports-drama dedicated to the golden years of Indian football. Ajay will be seen essaying the role of the legendary coach Syed Abdul Rahim, who is widely known as the founding father of Indian football.

Helmed by Badhai Ho filmmaker Amit Ravindrenath Sharma and co-produced by Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios, the movie also features Gajraj Rao and Boman Irani in pivotal roles.

Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great ...
