Maidaan cleared with 'zero' cuts, runtime revealed!
As per the news report, the examining committee of CBFC cleared Ajay Devgn's film Maidaan without a single cut. However, the board asked for an additional disclaimer to be added to the film. It reads, "The film is a work of fiction inspired by true events available in the public domain, views of the legendary football players, and research of writers with fictional elements."
The disclaimer reportedly also states that the use of certain dialogues is purely done to dramatize the events and the film is not made to incite any lawlessness. Besides this, the makers of Ajay's film were asked to insert an anti-smoking ticker in scenes where characters are seen smoking. The makers were also asked to add the end credits in Hindi. The movie's runtime is 3 hours, 1 minute and 30 seconds.
