Producer Boney Kapoor who is producing Ajith's Valimai in Tamil is upset with Bahubali director S S Rajamouli unilaterally announcing the release date of Telugu- Hindi film RRR with NTR Jr and Ram Charan.. RRR is officially to release on October 13th and it was the same day that Kapoor had planned to release Maidan in Hindi with Ajay Devgan. Ajay plays an antagonist in RRR. Kapoor had made the announcement of the release date at the time of Maidan puja.
Kapoor is currently remaking Hindi film PINK with Pawan Kalyan as Vakkeel Saab. Kapoor camp says that when Ajay Devgn was booked for RRR, he was told that he should put a clause in the agreement that the release date would not be fixed without the consent of the actor. Ajay told Kapoor that there was no legal agreement but only a oral one. Kapoor had also spoken to Rajamouli about the release date. The announcement came as a surprise. “Ajay is aware that his prestigious bio-pic Maidaan on football legend Syed Abdul Rahim was due in the Dussehra week this year. He very specifically told Rajamouli to speak to Boney Kapoor before announcing his release date. But Rajamouli went ahead without consulting Boney.” And now Boney is very very upset. A source quoting Kapoor said “Of course I am upset! This is most unethical. I announced my release date for Maidaan six months ago. At a time when we should all be coming together to save the movie industry, he (Rajamouli) has gone and done this,” .
