Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, who's busy filming underworld drama “Shootout At Wadala”, says he has pushed the film’s release to next year as he doesn't want it to clash with “Talaash” and “Dabangg 2″.
“Our original release date was Dec 7. Later ‘Talaash’ was announced for Nov 30 release. So it’s obvious that once an Aamir Khan full-fledged mainstream film releases after almost three years, distributors and exhibitors will block the theatres for a minimum of two weeks,” Gupta said at an event here Tuesday.
“Next could be ‘Dabangg 2′, which have been announced for Dec 24. So we needed to search for a later date because ‘Shootout…’ may be an equally big film. We're mature to know that let’s not eat into each other’s business,” added the director who has made films like “Kaante”, “Zinda”, “Dus Kahaniyaan”.
An screen adaptation of Mumbai police’s first registered gun battle, “Shootout At Wadala” stars John Abraham as gangster Manya Surve and likewise has Anil Kapoor, Sonu Sood, Manor Bajpayee, Tusshar Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut within the cast. – IANS
