Producer Boney Kapoor recently praised Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan for their ongoing stardom. Additionally, he lauded Ajay Devgn, highlighting his versatility and ability to seamlessly adapt to diverse roles. Speaking to PTI, Kapoor expressed admiration for Devgn’s talent, noting his capability to embody any character with conviction.
Boney said, “No superstar ensures a box office success.The superstar can only assure a sense of potential business a film could have. Rest is dependent on how the film is shaped. So, it basically boils down to what the content is. The bigger the star, the lesser the risk. There are several verticals which are not theatricals, like OTT, satellites, and audio. These are verticals that do not depend on the box office. Ajay Devgn is one of the finest actors we have. He will be the one man who will continue to be a big star even in his ’80s like Amitabh Bachchan. We also have Anil Kapoor who has that kind of longevity.”
He added, “(But) Ajay stands out… He has done all types of films. He can mould himself to any character, which means he can walk with laurels at any party because he gives his all.”
Boney Kapoor is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of his period sports drama ‘Maidaan’, featuring Ajay Devgn in the lead role. Alongside Devgn, the film stars Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and Rudranil Ghosh in pivotal roles. ‘Maidaan’ is scheduled to hit theaters on April 10.
Directed by Amit Ravindranath Sharma, ‘Maidaan’ delves into the golden era of Indian football, portraying the inspiring true story of Syed Abdul Rahim. Rahim, who served as the coach and manager of the Indian football team from 1950 until his passing in 1963, left a lasting legacy in the world of sports.
