For movie-goers, it was meant to be a clash of the Titans ��� Jaatiswar vs Chander Pahar, Srijit Mukherji vs Kamaleswar Mukherjee, Prosenjit Chatterjee vs Dev. But if sources are to be believed, the two films might not release on the same date. The makers of
Jaatiswar, it���s heard, are likely to push back the film���s release date. A source close to the movie says, ���With two big films rele-asing on the same date, the number of screenings can become an issue. Ultimately, it���s about the industry making money. ���Clash���, the word, is rather superfluous. Also, there���s another big Bollywood release on the same day. Why should filmmakers take the risk knowing fully well that screenings might be an issue?���
Also, two of Prosenjit���s films ���
Mishawr Rawhoshyoand the just-released
Hanuman.com ��� are already running in multiplexes. And if
Jaatiswar did release, it would have been a hattrick for the Tollywood superstar. Prosenjit, who is in Singapore for the release of his latest film, could not be reached.
JK Ray, spokesperson of the production house that has made
Jaatiswar, however, is tightlipped about the development. ���We have called a meeting on Monday. Till now, there���s no change in the release date,��� he says.
Jaatiswar and
Chander Pahar were supposed to hit the theatres on December 20.
