Releases Scamper For Date, Junglee Gets Pushed out By RAW
The desi Tarzan has just been pushed out by our very desi RAW agent John Abraham starrer RAW(an acronym for Romeo Akbar Walter).
RAW was to be pitched with the absurd-looking jungle adventure Junglee(Vidyut Jamwal on a stunt safari). But the producers of Junglee have now preponed their release by a week to avoid a clash with RAW.
The decision seems fairly prudent when seen in the light of the credibility that RAW leading man John Abraham has acquired as an actor since Parmanu last year.
“John and a film about national security are a solid boxoffice bet. To pitch an out-and-out trivial adventure likeJunglee against a heavyweight theme like RAW is suicidal. The Junglee producers have rightly moved back by a week,” says a trade source.
Though how wise it is to pitch your film against Salman Khan is debatable.
Junglee now faces competition from the Salman Khan produced The Notebook introducing the legendary Nutan’s granddaughter Pranutan Bahl.
