PK date issue sorted out, Aamir and Dutt to complete shoot

Contrary to reports that a “question mark” hangs over the fate of Raj Kumar Hirani’s “PK” following Sanjay Dutt’s impending jail term, the dates issue regarding the precious project has been happily sorted out.

Sanjay Dutt First Look in PK

Aamir Khan has gone out of his way to allot dates out of turn to Hirani’s film to ensure that Sanjay’s scenes are completed before the latter’s proposed incarceration starts from April 18.

The 53-year-old was sentenced to five years in jail by the Supreme Court March 21 for illegal arms possession during the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts.

He was asked to surrender in four weeks to serve his remaining term of three-and-half years as he has already spent 18 months in jail.

The shooting for “PK” is expected to take place next week.

Said a close friend of Dutt: “There is no uncertainty about ‘PK’ or any of Sanju’s pending projects. He’s done with his portion for Apoorva Lakhia’s ‘Zanjeer’ (remake). Work on ‘Policegiri’ is almost over too. Sanjay had made it clear that he would shoot for Hirani as soon as Aamir was available. Aamir’s dates were the only area of uncertainty.”

Aamir, one hears, has quickly given priority dates to “PK”.

“Both Sanju and Aamir are very close to Hirani. They’d never allow his project to suffer,” said the source.

Aamir’s spokesperson confirmed that the star has allotted priority dates to shoot with Sanjay.

  • Great news and hopefully all goes well so PK can release in 2014 sooner than later.
    Team Hirani will rock the boxoffice.

  • It is a very good news that Sanjay dutt will complete “PK” before going to prison.Good job Aamir khan and Sanju baba for showing professionalism towards Hirani and “PK” even in such difficult times and your team efforts will not fail bcoz “PK” will be another pathbreaking and record breaking movie like “3 idiots” and “Munnabhai series”.

  • sooner or later whenever P.k. release it will shatter the box office because it is the deadly combination of Aamir,Sanju and Raju hirani trio who had given argubly top 3 outstanding movies in Last decade 3 Idiots,Munna bhai series.. good luck to all who are associated in this movie

    P.S.- Haters go to hell

  • Since P.K will be low on budget 30-45 crore, it has good chance to be ATBB..unlike Krrish 3 or Dhoom 3

  • @superstar Yeh bro I believe this time Hirani Sir himself is financing the movie and not Vinod Chopra so Rajus a first time producer. Therefore I suspect Aamir as a friend to Raju wont take a remuneration upfront so costs will be low. My understanding is that Aamir will take somewhere between 30-40% of the profits just like ‘3 idiots’ and ‘Talaash’ projects.
    Eitherway PK is mostly set in India so I dont see how its costs exc Aamir should ever get so high into the 50-60cr bracket. Total costs inc P + R shouldnt be more than 60 cr and that it means it wouldnt need to collect too much above 150 cr to be called a BB. Ready on a 60 cr cost collected double in India and was declared a BB by BOI but Ra.one collected about 110 cr on a 80-90cr budget so really couldnt be called a SH or BB due to large costs of production.
    PK will be an ATBB as I believe it will be a film like 3 idiots which will still collect big #s on its 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks so its just gonna be huge.

  • @sid You may be right.
    PS my apologies as I think Vinod Chopra is actually involved in PK but in what capacity I aint 100% sure. Just that I read somewhere it was going to be Raju Hiranis first production but I guess with Vidhu being involved then it may be a joint venture by all of them.
    PK is just gonna be mindblowing as it has the deadly trio of 3 idiots involved again. Cant wait..! :-)
