Boney Kapoor, who is a happy producer, heaped praise on Maidaan's director Amit Sharma and jokingly said that Arjun Kapoor is his adopted son. Speaking at the event, he said, "Amit, I've known for quite some time. He's my real son, and Arjun (Kapoor) is probably an adopted son. Ye Tevar se chala aa raha hai (He's been with me since Tevar (2015), but of course, he gives me all the love as a son, and I try to do my best as a father."
"Kuch cheezen sahi ho jaati hain, kuch cheezen galat hoti hain. Jitni meri capacity hai uske hisaab se main kaam kar sakta hoon. Ab tak to ye khush lagta hai, kamse kam on the face of it" (Sometimes things end up well, and sometimes they go the wrong way. I can work according to my capacity. He looks happy as of now, at least on the face of it) he added.
Amit Sharma praises Boney Kapoor
Amit Sharma also praised Boney Kapoor for his resilience and said, "Agar Boney ji na hote toh yeh film kabhi khatam nahi hoti." (If Boney Sir wasn't with us, this film would've never been completed). "The kind of resilience he has, hats off," he added.
Janhvi Kapoor praises Boney Kapoor's passion for cinema as the trailer of Maidaan drops
Post the trailer launch, Boney Kapoor's daughter Janhvi Kapoor took to Instagram and praised his passion for cinema. Janhvi shared the trailer and wrote a heartfelt note along with it.
A part of her note read, "Papa always says there’s no easy or safe or practical way of making cinema that can really mean something. You cannot make art on an excel sheet. It’s always no guts no glory with him. All in or nothing. It can be scary; and more often than not extremely risky- but he feels only then will you have the chance, still a very slim one- to really make something that can stand the test of everything- that can give people an experience like never before. That has been the attempt with Maidaan. That has been Amit sir and my fathers vision."
