Dwayne Johnson To Visit ​ India?​

In an unprecedented  display of Hollywood’s franchise power Universal Picture, the producers and distributors of  Fast & Furious 8 have decided to release their prestige premium product in  4 languages in India and in approximately 3,000 theatres across the country, thereby creating a panic situation for the week’s major Hindi release Begum Jaan.

The producers Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt are left fighting a valiant but ineffectual battle to wangle theatres and screens from the  ‘Furious’ Hollywood franchise.

Says a source from a major multiplex chain, “We are  releasing Fast & Furious in  many more shows than BegumJaan.Also Fast & Furious opens in India  on Thursday April 13  a day ahead of its release in other parts of the world,  and a day ahead of Begum Jaan. Not only that , there will be paid preview screenings of Fast & Furious 8open to the public fromWednesday.”

On top of   this avalanche of hardsell , one hears that Universal Pictures is making every effort possible to get Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to India for the Fast & Furious 8 release.

Says a source, “The film’s two major stars are Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel was in India in January for the release of XXX. Now Dwayne Johnson may  make an appearance in India for his fans here.”

This fury of the Fast and the Furious has created  a panic situation  for the producers  of Begum Jaan.
