Exactly two years back it was a precarious situation for Vivek Oberoi when he had Ram Gopal Varma's Rakht Charitra - 1 and a couple of release in quick succession to one another. That was expected because it was designed this manner. However now that the scenario is being repeated for 2 different films - Kismat Love Paisa Dilli (KLPD) and Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story - Vivek is attempting his best in order for there is not any repeat of what had happened within the past.
Amit Chandra, producer of KLPD, understands the placement and empathizes with Vivek. He says, "I mean honestly it's not great for 2 films to release at the same day; it's not going to learn either Kumarji (Taurani) or me. I'VE requested him that he moves on and hopefully he would. The issue is not only concerning the same release date, it's also about promotion. If promos of 2 stars run concurrently, that can confuse audience. There need to be an opening between two films of the similar hero. Moreover, in both films he's playing different characters so why not allow audience to come back and revel in both films but after a gap."
However, Taurani feels that since he announced the film's completion first, it was his right to reach in theatres. If truth be told he was rattled when the producers of KLPD went ahead and announced the film in a celebratory event at a Mumbai mall.
"We were almost about to start out the publicity of our film when out of nowhere I heard the announcement of Amit announcing the film's completion", rues Taurani, "I had told earlier that lets sit around the table and type all of it out. However he didn't even consult me and just said that I should move ahead. He wasn't in a mood to hear me and today he has announced arrival of his film as 5th October. Yes, today we're fighting with one another and it needs to be seen who amongst the 2 people would budge from the stand."
Given the scenario, looks as if the clash is inevitable, what with Amit Chandra declaring loud and clear, "THIS CAN BE A perfect date for me and i'm not moving. I'M sure Vivek can have a talk with Kumarji and request him to transport ahead. No person wants a clash here."
"Yes, they (Amit Chandra) can have started promotion now, but we too could be beginning by month end. We just desire a few weeks of a few really intense promotions to get us going. We aren't taking flight needless to say. Our posters are ready, the primary cut of the film is in place in addition and if there's going to be a clash on 5th October so be it", declares Kumar Taurani who's going ahead full steam on Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story.
One can just hope that Vivek brings the 2 men together and kind all of it out before it's too late.
