Maidaan: Sets of the Ajay Devgn starrer suffer damage due to cyclone Tauktae

Cyclone Tauktae caused a lot of damage in the city along with killing many people as well. Apart from that, due to the cyclone a lot of property damage in parts of the nation has been caused. Ajay Devgn starrer Maidaan’s sets were also wrecked due to the brutal storm. If the latest reports are to be believed then, there have been no casualties but the set where Ajay was to shoot has suffered a lot of damage.

According to a report by ETimes, the Maidaan set was placed on the outskirts of Mumbai and a large part of the remaining film stands have been damaged and it is mostly irreparable as the damage is to the point of complete destruction. A source revealed to the portal, “There were about 40 people on the set when the cyclone hit the ‘Maidaan’ set- the guards and the curators of the football ground which largely comprises the set. They tried their best to save as much as they could but their efforts proved almost totally futile.”

The source further added, “The ‘Maidaan’ makers Boney Kapoor (producer) and Amit Sharma (director) had hoped that the ongoing lockdown would be eased beyond May 31, 2021, and they would wind up the matches part in the next 15-17 days. But all those plans, for now, stand washed out.”

The report further said that fortunately a certain portion of the indoor scenes had been filmed in Kolkata and Lucknow. This will be the second time that the sets of Maidaan have suffered damages.
