YOU ASKED IT | 27 September, 2024

Will Jigra take a respectable opening? I’m asking this question as it is a woman-centric film.

– You bet, it will take a very good start. The teaser first and now the trailer have been loved by the public and so there is a lot of curiosity for the film. Please don’t forget that Alia Bhatt has earlier delivered hits in women-oriented films such as RAAZI and GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI.

With a naughty title like Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, how are the producers calling it a family film?

– They know the best because they have made the film. You and I can only hazard guesses, so it is best to wait for the film to hit the screens. Then, you shall have the answer to your question. Meanwhile, let me add here that the film’s promotion is working big time with the public which should, therefore, make a beeline for the cinemas on 11th October when the film releases.           

In Hollywood films, there is no separate credit for dialogue writer. But Indian films always have a dialogue writer. Why this difference?

– In Hollywood films, the screenplay writer also writes the dialogues, which is not the case as far as Indian films are concerned. The screenplay writer may or may not be the dialogue writer in the case of Indian films. Even if the screenplay and dialogue writer/s is/are the same, credit is always given for story, screenplay and dialogues.     Â
