Saturday, 19th April 2014, 06:00 PM IST Reportedly, Neeraj Pandey’s yet-to-be-titled film starring Akshay Kumar will be released during Republic Day next year. Interestingly,Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Gabbar’ had already chosen the dates for its release.Now one hears that neither of the two big projects is willing to move out of the coveted January 23, 2015 slot.
A source very close to Sanjay Bhansali says,"We decided that 'Gabbar' is perfect as Republic Day release. We took a call on the release 3 months ago. Its theme is socio-political reform. It's the story of one man's crusade against corruption. Akshay, who has been doing a string of action-adventure entertainers, would be doing a film very relevant to the nation's conscience. And what better slot for this film than Republic day?”
After Neeraj’s film jumped in, the makers of ‘Gabbar’ are very miffed A source close to the Bhansali production said, "They haven't even shot a single frame and they decided to barge into our release date without any consideration for our film? It's highly unethical. We are not moving out at any cost. But we want to know how a film's release can be announced without shooting a single frame?" Confirming the matter, filmmaker Neeraj Pandey said, “Fortunately or unfortunately, release dates are a great event in the box-office calendar. We've chosen to reserve January 23 as the release of our film although we haven't even started shooting the film.” |
