National Award winning director Dibakar Banerjee is finally done making his first release in over two years. Understandably he wants everything to head as smoothly as possible.
But unfortunately things almost fell apart when he and his crew were within the planning process to introduce his political thriller for the first actual time to the world.
Apparently, the filmmaker needed to bend backwards, looking to tackle dates from his leading actors Emraan Hashmi and Abhay Deol for the development. However, Emraan’s current producers (Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt) wouldn’t let him take off even for one day.
Says a source, “Emraan is shooting for a Bhatt production at the present time and Dibakar wanted an afternoon from him when Abhay and he could come together for the development. Unfortunately, the producers of the film just refused to provide out any date.
Catch-22 for Emraan
Adds the source, “Emraan couldn’t help because he can’t leave his shoot and are available. Dibakar’s film is essential to him, but so is the Bhatt film and hence he didn't have a decision but to hear his producers.”
A distressed Banerjee says, “I was heartbroken that we weren't capable of kick off the promotion with a trailer launch. We went through so much looking to coordinate Emraan and Abhay’s dates together after which change all of it over again.”
The event is claimed to has been rescheduled for next week.
