Amit Sharma praises Ajay Devgn and Boney Kapoor
The trailer of Maidaan released today and the initial response from the viewers has been good. Director Amit Sharma who attended the grand trailer launch event of the film praised the film’s lead actor Ajay Devgn and producer Boney Kapoor.
Praising the acting skills of Ajay Devgn, the director said, “Ajay sir is the best actor I’ve ever worked with.” He recalled being scared because he had seen the star as Singham and didn’t know whether he’d be able to get into the skin of a character like Syed Abdul Rahim who was a very calm man. The director said that he shared his concern with Ajay but was left amazed when he transformed from Singham to Syed Abdul Rahim in a matter of seconds.
Maidaan faced a lot of delays in making and the release date got pushed multiple times but finally, the film is close to its release. Praising Boney Kapoor for standing firmly with him as a producer, Amit said, “Agar Boney ji na hote toh yeh film kabhi khatam nahi hoti.” (If Boney Sir wasn’t with us, this film would’ve never been completed). “The kind of resilience he has, hats off” he added.
