Will 'Veere Di Wedding' clash with 'Deadpool 2' in theatres?
| Updated: Jan 15, 2018, 16:00 IST
Bollywood filmmakers weren't very weary of international releases clashing with Hindi cinema. However, that seems to have changed after international and regional cinema has started to garner a lot of appreciation with the masses. And now Bollywood filmmakers are weary of simultaneous releases. 'Veere Di Wedding' might face that sort of situation, reports suggest.
The film was announced to release on the 18th of May 2018 long back. The film directed by Shashanka Ghosh has been in the news because it marks Kareena Kapoor Khan's debut onscreen for the first time after becoming a mother. However, after the release date of Marvel superhero movie, 'Deadpool 2' was announced, this has sent 'Veere' filmmakers into a tizzy. Last year, when the first part of 'Deadpool' released alongside Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif’s 'Fitoor', the superhero film wiped out the Hindi movie. 'Deadpool 2' was earlier scheduled to arrive on the 1st of June in the USA and India, but the release has been preponed recently leading other makers to shift dates. “It is not a great idea to release a film opposite big franchise movies from Hollywood. We have seen how even films suffered very badly when 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshi' was wiped out by 'Fast and Furious 7'. Even in 2017, barring 'Tumhari Sulu', that edged ahead of ‘Justice League', no Bollywood film managed to take on a Hollywood film,” said a trade source. Last year, 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' released with Karan Johar and Mani Ratnam’s 'Ok Jaanu' and beat the film hollow. 'xXx' collected Rs 35 crore while 'Ok Jaanu' managed to collect Rs 12 crore less.
This year is going to see some major international releases too. It will be interesting to see how Bollywood filmmakers handle the situation.
Stay tuned for updates on the same.
