Why was so much time lost in deciding and announcing whether Sikandar would be released on Friday (28th March) or on Sunday/Monday after the Friday because of Ramzan days?
– It isn’t an easy decision to take. The producers were trying to assess what would be the right decision for the film and its business. The main reason for the delay was also the uncertainty over the date of the Eid festival which depends on the moon sighting.
What kind of an initial do you expect Jaat to take?
– The producers of JAAT have to pump up its publicity. As of now, the publicity is below the mark and hence excitement for the action film starring Sunny Deol is not up to the mark. If the producers increase the pitch of the promotion in the next three weeks till April 10 (when the film is scheduled to hit the screens), the film might open very well. After all, it is coming after the blockbuster business of Sunny’s action film, GADAR 2.
Why is Karan Johar getting into regional cinema? Isn’t it a comedown for one of the topmost producer-directors of the country?
– Did you actually ask whether it’s a comedown?!? You must be joking! You are probably not aware that regional cinema delivers some of the biggest blockbusters every year. Karan has not just co-produced Punjabi film AKAAL but will also foray into cinema of other languages in time to come. And yes, you, perhaps, don’t remember that his foray into South cinema (BAHUBALI) yielded him huge profits.
