Anees Bazmi’s ‘No Problem’ and Yashraj Film`s ‘Band Baaja Baraat’ clash as both the films are slated for a Dec 10 release. The viewers are kept awaited in the suspense that which movie would be left in problem and which one would be welcomed with a band baaja!
“I don’t believe in lucky dates, but I do believe in commitments. We had decided to release ‘No Problem’ on Dec 10 long ago. I have three releases next year, so I needed to get the film out of the way this year,” says Anees.
“We worked at breakneck speed to finish ‘No Problem’ and announced our release date months ago. It was only later that I heard ‘Band Baja Baraat’ is coming on the same date,” added the hyperactive director.
This isn’t the fist time when we see a clash in two big-budgeted films. ‘Golmaal 3’ and ‘Action Replayy’ released on Diwali this year and one of them had to taste the ground!
Anees admitted his unhappiness with the clash. “It’s never advisable to bring two big films on the same day. If anyone, then they should move because we locked in the date first. But I think Yashraj is superstitious about the second week of December because their ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ released during the same week in 2008 and was a hit.”
“When my producer Vipul Shah decided to add an extra n in `king` for ‘Singh Is Kinng’ I told him please add one more `n` if it helps the box-office. It’s the product that matters. I know we have a fabulously funny film in “No Problem” and I am sure ‘Band Baaja Baraat’ is also a terrific film. If a clash is not avoided, then I’ll pray for both films,” Anees says as he believes in work more than luck.
Yashraj camp is in no mood for postponement and feels that there is enough space at the box office for both the films.
