Barely four days after announcing that Maidaan will hit the screens on November 27, Ajay Devgn has done a rethink.
Yesterday, he shared the news that the film, based on the golden era of Indian football in the 1950s, has been postponed to December 11. We wonder if the decision has something to do with the new release date of the Ranbir Kapoor- starrer Brahmastra. On Sunday, the makers announced that it will release on December 4 u2014 a week after Maidaanu2019s original release date.
Perhaps, Devgn did not want a big ticket film to follow and occupy all the screens.
