Vivek Oberoi versus Vivek Oberoi

Vivek Oberoi hasn't had a movie release for nearly two years now [RAKHT CHARITRA was his last release]. But come October and the actor may have two films vying for audience attention. What puts Vivek in a clumsy situation is that the 2 films in question, JAYANTABHAI KI LUV STORY and KLPD - KISMET LOVE PAISA DILLI are slated for release at the same day, on 5 October.

Of course, it goes without saying that no actor wish to have two films clashing at the same date, but as things stand today, the respective producers, Kumar Taurani and Amit Chandra, respectively don't seem to be able to budge from that date. "Picture ek hi aani chahiye," Kumar Taurani informs me, "Well, it isn't a perfect idea to have two films of the similar actor releasing at the same date. It isn't good for the producer, it is not good for the actor in addition. I WILL BE ABLE TO speak about JAYANTABHAI KI LUV STORY, it's definitely arriving on 5 October."

Amit Chandra, the producer of KLPD - KISMET LOVE PAISA DILLI, echoes similar sentiments. However, Amit made a proper announcement of the discharge date of his film at an event on Sunday, when he unveiled the primary look of the film. However the question is, is it healthy trend to have two releases at the same day? "IT IS NOT. Ideally, there have to be a considerable gap between two films. Come to consider it, how would an actor promote two films simultaneously? Would it confuse the audience?" Amit reasons.

Has Amit spoken to Kumar Taurani about it? "Yes, I did... I'M HOPING he blinks first [smiles]. I AM HOPING he's sweet enough to shift his film ahead," Amit states. What's Vivek's stance at the entire thing? "I guess, Vivek wants Kumar-ji and me to sort it out amongst ourselves," Amit adds. Let's have a look at who blinks first!
