Lately,

sudden

virus.
After

A
source
informed
the

that
the
filmmaker
has
home
quarantined
himself
and
is
taking
all
the

Earlier
on
Wednesday,
actor-filmmaker

"Attention

Coming
back
to
Amit
Sharma,
the
filmmaker
has
been
busy
working
on
his
upcoming
film
Maidaan
which
stars
Ajay
Devgn
as
the
legendary
football
coach
Syed
Abdul
Rahim.
The
film
also
stars
Priyamani
and
Gajraj
Rao
in
prominent
roles.
Earlier,
in
a
tete-a-tete
with
a
news
portal,
Sharma
was
all
praise
for
Ajay
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"The
level
of
dedication
Ajay
Sir
has
shown
has
to
be
seen
to
be
believed.
He
has
not
only
sharpened
his
skills
as
a
footballer,
he
made
sure
he
was
all
there
for
the
project
from
the
word
go.
Maidaan
couldn't
have
been
made
without
Ajay
sir.I
think
he
deserves
another
National
award."
Meanwhile,
there's
a
strong
buzz
that
the
makers
of
Deepika
Padukone
starrer
The
Intern
remake
have
roped
in
Amit
Sharma
to
helm
the
project.
