The makers of Rajamouli’s high budget pan-Indian magnum opus, RRR, yesterday announced that the film will be released on October 13 as a Dasara festive treat. It’s well known that Bollywood star Ajay Devgn will be playing the role of a mentor to NTR and Ram Charan in RRR.
And it looks like RRR’s clash with Ajay Devgn’s highly-anticipated pan-Indian sports biopic, Maidaan, is inevitable. Maidaan is scheduled to hit screens on October 15, just 2 days after RRR opens in cinemas. Whether or not any of these two big budget movies will back off from the Dasara clash remains to be seen.
In Maidaan, Ajay Devgn plays Syed Abdul Rahim, the legendary Hyderabadi coach and manager of Indian football team in the 50s and early 60s.
