Bharat Team Jittery About Its Product?

 There seems  to be  a last-minute panic in the team of Salman Khan’s  Eid release Bharat.  Much is at stake, what with Salman’s last two Eid releases Tubelight in  2017 and  Race 3 in 2018  underperforming(okay, we are  being polite about  the  failure  of the two films)   at  the box  office.

Sources say the producers  are  “entering  the  nervous zone” as  the  release  of Bharat approaches.

“The  film  has so far been shown  only to Salman’s  very close family members including of course Salman’s father Salim Saab. It was  Salim Saab who  suggested  to Salman that some of  the  scenes needed to be snipped  off. Otherwise who would dare to make  such a  suggestion to Salman? Certainly  not  the  director Ali Abbas Zafar who   takes  all of Salman’s suggestions quietly and without question. Of course it is another matter that  Salman’s  suggestions are  the right ones  most of the  time,” says  an informed  source.

 While  the advance booking figures  of  Bharat  are said to be phenomenal  an insider says  the  producers are not  completely  confident about the end-product.  “Salman playing the patriotic card and  going  on and on  about  deshand deshprem may not be  the Eid entertainment his  target audience is  looking for.”

In fact  the producers have  cancelled all  pre-release  screenings  including the  press show.Not a sign of a confident  product.
