YOU ASKED IT | 1 June, 2019

Will Jabariya Jodi be postponed, now that Super 30 is releasing on 12th July?

– Probably yes. One has to wait and watch but that seems likely. After all, while SUPER 30 stars Hri­thik Roshan, JABARIYA JODI has Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra in the cast.

What is the charm in announcing release dates so many months in ad­vance when they could change closer to the announced dates?

– You are right. This phase of announcing the release dates mon- ths in advance shall also pass. It’s afad and it’s away of warding off competition by producers of big films.

Going through your review of India’s Most Wanted last week, I wondered how a studio like Fox Star Studios could greenlight such a half-baked script? I couldn’t get over the fact that the actor playing the title role had barely 5 min­utes of screen time!

– It is indeed shocking how Fox passed this script. Every film of a studio cannot be a hit but some­ times, there’s loss in translation while at other times, the theme may not work but in the case of INDIA’S MOST WANTED, the script was worth nothing, which makes one actually wonder on what basis must a studio like Fox have given the green signal. Would you believe it if I told you that the name of the actor playing the title role is not even mentioned in the opening or closi­ng titles of the film?!?
