Rajkumar Hirani rubbishes rumours of Eid 2018 release for Dutt Biopic

Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani has rubbished baseless rumours of his next directorial ‘Sanjay Dutt Biopic’ releasing during the Eid weekend next year.

The film was previously announced for theatrical release in March 2018, but after the ‘Tubelight’ debacle last week, media-created reports started doing the rounds that Vidhu Vinod Chopra is now targeting the Eid weekend.

In a statement, Hirani said “All these are baseless rumours. The film will release as per schedule in March 2018.”

The film stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. It also has Paresh Rawal (Sunil Dutt), Manisha Koirala (Nargis), Dia Mirza (Manyata Dutt), Sonam Kapoor (Tina Munim), Karishma Tanna (Madhuri Dixit) and Anushka Sharma.

The untitled Dutt biopic is scheduled to release in theatres on March 30.

    So salman is lucky raju hirani is nt coming on next eid. Nt happy wth wat salman is doing lk movie with remo,ali jafar and then dabbang 3 wth prabhudeva.

  • Hirani Sahab,

    No need of this statement…

    Eid made star has started giving disasters on Eid only now…!!!

    ROFL…

    EID DEPENDENT NON STAR, THHHUUUUU…

  • @Fake Aamir Khan
    Salman EID made Superstar’s We all know that So don’t try to hide it.
    He is disaster in Eid and with cladh will be mega-disaster of the Century beating Marigold.

  • @Born for Hrithik : Many people like you came, wrote and vanished. You belong to the same jhundh, I hope you understand who usually have a jhund !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

    Abey Jhandu, It’s my real name… u r the only who faked the name…

    And even Kids know.. Raju Hirnai Knows, (hence he didn’t postpone Sanajy Biopic..) that Eid is made by Salman Khan and He deserve it. Whether he flops or hits his movies coz he already gave 6 contionous Blockbusters on Eid which is more than Total Blockbusters of Your Actor.

    BTW, if u r srk fan – your media created Star, Even failed many times to make his films BBs on Festivals like Xmas, Diwali (Eid pe ane ka himmat hi nahi).

    if u r Aamir fan then, even your Dangal would have failed to cross collection and footfalls of Sultan without Xmas, 3 open weeks hiked ticket price etc…. (If u talk abt China, then Send Aamir to there like srk to Pluto)

    No need to say anything if u r Calculator’s created Star.

  • Kamz, you’re correct. Festival can boost collection for two days only in eid and diwali.
    X-mas is long. In 2012, d2 did 158cr during an ind-pak series on India soil. Otherwise d2 with Salman would do 170cr+ in 2012 time.
    A film like wanted, dabangg, sultan, bajrangi bhaijaan, tiger zinda hai will be superhit in normal weekend. This is proved by bahubali2 as well as tubelight.

  • Too many films announced for 2018, box office for me looks like:

    Thugs of Hindostan- 400 cr
    Remo D’Souza dance film- 315 cr
    Dwarf film- 300 cr
    Robot 2.0- 250 cr
    Dutt Biopic- 225 cr

    Akshay film with SKF-Dharma- 180 cr
    Gold- 150 cr
    Mogul- 135 cr
    Sui Dhaaga- 120 cr
    Baaghi 2- 100 cr

    Student of the Year 2- 85 cr
    Aiyaary- 75 cr
    Rambo- 70 cr
    Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar- 60 cr
    Chandamama Door Ke- 50 cr

  • Robot 2.0, grand meet of theater owners happening tomorrow.. To disuss digital 3d upgrade..

  • @ Makey
    your old Megastar time is over now clashes will happening in upcoming movies ready for it ,

  • @Born for Hrithik : Many people like you came, wrote and vanished. You belong to the same jhundh, I hope you understand who usually have a jhund !!!!!!!!!!! Lol

  • Even without clash none actor will give a recordless flop. I think those who are avoiding clash with him are either idiots with no IQ or either too coward unnecessarily that they are overestimating him despite the fact that he is a loser even on big festivals with solo release. Eid is not his property. Everyone have right to release their film whenever they want. Even if his movies get solo release i want them to underperform like fusslight only then somebody will get into sense and clash with him. He doesn’t deserve solo release. Somebody should clash with him on this Christmas. Big festivals shouldn’t he ruined by crap films of salman anymore. He is only star. Not superstar forget megastar.

  • @sober, yes lallu, hirani is better without aamir than with aamir tgats wht poor hirani couldn’t give any HGOTY or ATBB without aamir right? Munnabhai films were just super hits not even blockbuster and not even HGOTY for those respective years. Isn’t it shame for hirani? And lallu’s like you say that he is better without aamir. ROFL. More jokes please.
