Disney Books Optimum Theatres For Jagga Jasoos

Shradha Kapoor’s Haseena Postponed from July 14 To 28,

The long-delayed Jagga Jasoos featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif together for the last time, is “positively “ releasing on July 14.

And the producers have ensured that the film gets maximum screens  for the summer-vacationing kids. Such is the intensity and volume of release planned  for Jagga Jasoos that the other major release scheduled for  the same Friday Apoorva Lakhia’s Haseena The Queen Of  Bombay, the  bio-pic on Dawood Ibrahim’s sister HaseenaParkar, has now been shifted to July 28.

This,  despite the fact that July 28 already has the Anil Kapoor-Arjun Kapoor-Anees Bazmi  comedy  Mubaraka,Madhur Bhandarkar’s Indu Sarkar  besides the controversial “ladies picture”  Lipstick Under My Burkha which has  just been announced for July 28.

Says a source  close to Lakhia’s film. “We’d rather brave Anees Bazmi’s comedy than Jagga Jasoos. With JaggaJasoos on July 14 we were not getting proper theatres screens and timings. Now having shifted by two weeks we at least stand a fair chance.”

Incidentally there is another reason why Lakhia’s Haseena got shifted forward by two weeks. On June 30, producer-director Suneel Darshan releases his son Shiv Darshan’s launch film Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha.

It was felt that viewers were likely to get confused by two films with “Haseena” in the title being released within weeks.
