In the aftermath of the recent terrorist attacks, a lot of filmmakers have shifted/postponed their film releases keeping in mind the grim situation in the city and across the nation. Last week's two new releases Sorry Bhai and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! despite fetching decent reviews, failed to attract the footfalls at the cineplexes, as people just didn't seem to be in a mood to go and catch a film.
The first Friday of December (Dec 5) was initially supposed to see as many as seven new releases but two of them- Khallballi- Fun Unlimited and Kaashh...Mere Hote have now been shifted ahead for obvious reasons.
Producer-director Rohan Sippy's English language film, The President Is Coming, was supposed to hit the cinema halls last Friday (Nov 28) but owing to the grim situation in the city, he decided to postpone the release. Bollywood Hungama got in touch with Rohan's spokesperson to get the latest update on the release status of The President Is Coming, "The President Is Coming will now release in January of 2009. Rohan obviously thought this was not the right time for his film to release. Moreover, the promos have been getting a very encouraging feedback and hence he feels a later date will only benefit the film."
Not just his film release, Rohan has even shifted the music release of his forthcoming
Akshay Kumar- Deepika Padukone starrer Chandni Chowk To China. The music launch was scheduled to take place today evening (Dec 2) but has now been pushed to Dec 9 owing to the situation in the city.
Must say, this is indeed a wise and smart move by Rohan!
