A 16-acre, high-maintenance set that was built for the Ajay Devgn-starrer "Maidaan" has been dismantled owing to the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown and the upcoming monsoon season.

"We built a massive outdoor set covering a 16-acre plot around Mumbai, with all the production infrastructure. Just as the shoot was getting underway, the pandemic hit the world," said the film's producer Boney Kapoor, adding: "The set has now been dismantled as rains are due to arrive in Mumbai. The rebuild will take at least two months, which will start in September at the earliest, so shooting can commence only in November."
