Boney Kapoor Credits Arjun, Janhvi, Anshula And Khushi Kapoor For His 15 Kg Weight Loss: 'They Made Sure That...'

Boney Kapoor, the producer behind the latest film ‘Maidaan’ which released in theatres today, recently shared insights into how he has been maintaining his well-being amidst the busy promotional schedule. Boney Kapoor mentioned that his children – Arjun, Khushi, Janhvi, and Anshula – are concerned about his health and check on him daily.

During an interview with Connect FM Canada, Boney Kapoor discussed his health routine amid the demanding promotion activities for ‘Maidaan’. He mentioned, “In the last six to eight months, I have lost around 14 to 15 kgs. I’m eating healthy food. I’m sleeping properly. I’m taking care of my health. More than me, my kids are worried about me, and they make sure that I take care of my health.”

Boney Kapoor further elaborated, saying, “Janhvi-Khushi, Arjun-Anshula, all of them call me every day. I don’t count the number of calls, but I have this habit of picking up every phone call, even when they are not from my contact list. I will pick up every phone call surely, and in case I miss out, then I’ll call back. But I have this tendency of picking up every call that I get.”

‘Maidaan’, produced by Boney Kapoor, features Ajay Devgn in the leading role and tells the story of coach SA Rahim and his football team’s triumph at the 1962 Asian Games. The movie is up against the releases of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.

The News18 Showsha review of the same reads, “If I have to describe Maidaan in one word, I would call the film exhilarating but in parts. Let’s first address the elephant in the room: the three-hour-long runtime. Is it worth sitting through it all? I would say yes. Director Amit Sharma has not compromised with the runtime to ensure he delivers a meaty film. A film like Maidaan, where there are several incidents being covered — the personal struggle of coach Rahim, the team’s issues, the political climate that impacts the sport and the matches, the intense matches — require time. Amit takes full liberty of time to make you invest in every twist and turn.

This helps the events leading up to the climax land brilliantly. Maidaan learns a lot from the mistakes of past sports dramas in Bollywood. Take ’83 as an example. The film lacked the depth, despite the characters landing so well. Amit rectifies it, taking a holistic approach.”
