Does a film that has been delayed for close to two years hold a cinematic appeal?
This is precisely the case with Nehle Pe Dehla , which stars Sanjay Dutt , Saif Ali Khan , Bipasha Basu and Kim Sharma . The film was supposed to hit the theatres in 2005, but took so long to complete that it is now releasing two years after its planned date.
However, the movie’s producer, Mahendra Dhariwal, is hopeful. When he started making the movie, neither Sanjay Dutt nor Saif Ali Khan was giving hit movies at the box-office. But then Munnabhai MBBS happened and Sanju became a sought-after star overnight. In the meantime, Saif, too, gave a number of hit films and won the National award also.
But it was this rise to fame of Sanju and Saif that eventually delayed ‘Nehle Pe Dehla’. The producer alleges that the two stars signed new projects and they no longer could spare dates to complete his film.
At long last, Dhariwal has now completed the movie and is looking forward to release it next month. The film’s promos are already on air. But he wants Sanjay Dutt to spare a few days to promote the film and hold press conferences. The actor, however, doesn’t seem interested in the much-delayed movie anymore.
Even the film’s promos look jaded. Saif is looking much leaner and his hair-do is completely at odds with today’s style statement.
