Amit Ravindernath Sharma's film Maidaan, in which Ajay Devgn stars, chronicles "the golden age of Indian football." The film hasn't yet received a proper trailer, despite being scheduled to be released last year alongside RRR. “Besides Maidaan, there’s not a single penny I owe anyone,” he stated.

When questioned about the 16-acre plot of property he had rented for a football field, Boney responded, “We went through a lot. We made a full football ground with natural turf. Not artificial turf, because in those days, in the ’50s and ’60s, there was no artificial turf. We erected a couple of stands and used green screens… That set was there for more than three years, and that’s what escalated the budget of the film also. We haven’t overshot, but we had to pay rent for the ground, we had to remunerate the curators, and we had to maintain the ground… We had a crew of almost 500-600 people every day. We had Taj catering the food. We had two or three ambulances on set…”

He claimed that the set had to be rebuilt when a cyclone hit the area.“All these calamities and the pandemic, this created a major, major (problem). And unfortunately, insurance is not there… As of now, we’ve got nothing. What they’ve offered is a measly amount of what I’ve spent.” Maidaan, which also features Priyamani and Gajraj Rao, was originally slated for release in June 2023 but was again postponed. Six months ago, a teaser for the movie was revealed.
