Bollywood Blind Item – June 2019 – 1

    So much has been said about this film. Just like another film from his best friend’s production house, this head honcho has not been satisfied yet with the version of this film that he saw.

    On one hand, it is good that the producer knows this film is messed up hence he is taking precaution to not release it to theatres. Even though, it’s a small budget film, he still cares compared to the big budget dud he approved for released last year!

    Last month, they said the film would release on Netflix and now it seems they have decided not to release it at all!

    Now that they have hyped it up to be such a bad film, can’t wait to see it just for that!

    Check out the blind item from SuperCinema.

    STUMPED….

    Here is a curious case of something that read beautifully on paper but the when the end product made its way to a preview theatre all were gobsmacked. This studio green lit this quirky middle India film last year with a lot of gungho. The filmmaker had a knack for telling stories from the heartland and wanted to take a break from his serious style of storytelling and wanted to dabble in something light and frothy but with the desi touch. He got a stellar ensemble cast for the same as well and everything looked like it was going just as plan.

    The makers were confident as well as they thought this movie had the potential to one the biggest sleeper hits of the year whenever it came out. But as they say all that glows ain’t gold. Soon when the maker returned from the shoot and handed in the final edit of the film the studio was in for a rude shock.

    They didn’t know how to salvage this movie. They’ve showed the film to a many a marketing wiz-kids trying to figure what could be a great peg for the movie to revolve on but nothing seems to be working. Last we checked the studio is seriously contemplating not the release the movie and subside their losses. And on the other hand, the filmmaker has now moved on to his next and doesn’t want anything to do with the film either. Sad, but then such is the life dearies.

    In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, Arjun Kapoor said that there were mulitiple reasons for the delay. He said, “Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar is a unique multiplex film and we need a window of opportunity to release it. Namaste England was ready in the time Dibakar sir was cutting the film. So, we pushed it for later as we needed a gap between the two films.”

    The makers of the film did not want any box office clash and therefore pushed the released of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar further. He added, “Then, Luka Chuppi and Sonchiriya happened to be opening on the same date that we had decided for Sandeep Aur Pinky… Why would you want to get into a three-way tussle? The film is ready and it’s just a matter of releasing it at the right time.”

    1. If aditya chopra saw merit in releasing thugs of hindostan, surely he can take the risk with this movie. Who know, God may be kind…

    2. I am happy that this nepokid Arjun kapoor is finally biting the dust. Even the extras in his movies look and act better than him.
