Wednesday, 23rd July 2014, 04:30 PM IST Recent reports claimed that chief of the MNS Film Wing, Ameya Khopkar, has refused to withdraw ‘Lai Bhaari’ from the screens to make way for Salman Khan starrer ‘Kick’.
Soon after, a group of exhibitors tried to play peacemaker and met the MNS leader. However, despite the negotiations Khopar wouldn’t budge. Distributor Ramesh Sippy said, “The matter has finally been settled. ‘Lai Bhaari’ in its fourth week will get one or two shows at single screens in the main cities. Single screens in smaller centres will screen the film in all shows.” A unit member of ‘Kick’ said, “The impact of the decision is more psychological than financial. It shouldn't make a big dent in our collections as the reduced number of screens is restricted to Maharashtra.Else, it's ‘Kick’ all the way. And even here, the multiplexes have no problems in accommodating our film. They can always increase the number of shows.” |
