Maidaan: The Ajay Devgn sports drama is also releasing on October 15, in a clash with ‘RRR’. Producer Boney Kapoor has been vocal about his frustration with filmmaker SS Rajamouli, calling the move “unethical”. “Rajamouli has made a big name for himself after the two ‘Baahubali’ films he directed. In that context, I wonder why a Rajamouli film, after ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ and ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ needs a holiday weekend,” Kapoor was quoted as saying by Times of India. The weekend is when the Hindu festival of Dusshera is celebrated. Image Credit: Twitter.com/ajaydevgn
