The producers and I have come up with a specific release strategy that caters to the core target audience,” Zee Studios’ Girish Johar told Bollywood Hungama.
Accordingly, we have requested cinemas across the country to give us specific showings of the film, i.e. 3-4 shows in 5 screens after 1pm.
The duration of the film is also not very long (130 minutes). We also realize that there is a huge rush for releases this week. That’s why we didn’t go for a wide release. The Plexes are still working on it, and the return process is still ongoing.”“We want to build on word of mouth and then increase exposure, because we believe the film will have long legs at the box office,” he added.The film also features Sapna Pabbi,
