Cyclone Tauktae has led to the deaths of many people and has also wreaked havoc in its wake, cleaving through many properties. According to media reports, it appears that the cyclone has not spared Ajay Devgn's Maidaan set which was located on the outskirts of Mumbai. While there were no casualties reported, the set on which a large part of the film was supposed to be shot, stands destroyed.
"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 tried their best to save as much as they could but their efforts proved almost totally futile," a source told ETimes. This is the second time that the makers of Maidaan have suffered a setback because of the set. In 2020, a 16-acre, high-maintenance set built for the film was dismantled due to the COVID-19 lockdown and the rains. "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 in the next 15-17 days. But all those plans, for now, stand washed out," the source added.
