July's lucky for Jaane Tu ... director

1-800-LOVE, Abbas Tyrewalas���s next film after Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na is nearly complete, but you will see no sign of it till July 2010.
And that���s because Abbas wants to make sure that the magic of the lucky July week that worked with Jaane Tu... holds true for 1-800-LOVE too. Jaane Tu was released in July last year and was a sensational success.Abbas now plans to release all his films in July and is convinced that they���ll work.
Surprisingly, 1-800-LOVE���s producer is willing to bear the mounting costs of the post-production delay. ���I guess I���m lucky,��� Abbas says. ���Even though the shoot is done and there���s just one song left, my producer is with me in the decision to release the film in the same week as Jaane Tu... Actually, I would love to release 1-800-LOVE on July 4, the same date as Jaane Tu... but it isn���t a Friday.���
They are to choose between July 2 and 9, 2010, as the release date. ���And if I had my way, I would release all my films in the same week, depending on how accommodating my producers are in the future.���
And as we wonder if we can pass this off as superstition, Abbas protests, ���Look, even otherwise, the first quarter of 2010 is clogged with exams and other stuff. I would rather release my films when schools and colleges are shut because they are the audience for all my films.���
Just for Abbas���s information both schools and colleges in Mumbai re-open by July.���
