The discharge of Aamir Khan-starrer “Talaash”, scheduled for June 1, was pushed to November-end or within the actor’s lucky month December, co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani says. Aamir’s involvement together with his TV show is the cause of the delay.
“We have postponed the discharge of ‘Talaash’. It is going to release either in November-end or the primary week of December,” Sidhwani told IANS.
Perhaps a December release could do well for the project, given Aamir’s history with the month. For 3 consecutive years, starting 2007, he gave back-to-back hits — “Taare Zameen Par”, “Ghajini” and “3 Idiots” — which have been released in December.
Citing the explanation behind the delay within the film’s release, Sidhwani said: “Aamir’s TV show (for Star Plus) goes to be on air till June. That may be eating into the promotion of ‘Talaash’. And because it’s Aamir’s next big film after ’3 Idiots’, he must be around for its promotion.”
Directed by Reema Kagti, “Talaash” also features Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor. It's co-produced by Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment, in addition to Aamir Khan Productions.
