Actor John Abraham, who is currently busy with his production
"Parmanu : The Story of Pokhran", says that the release of the film is postponed
because the makers wanted a proper date.
"There are so many films which
have an entertainment purpose only and there are very few films which are
important for our country. According to me, 'Parmanu' is one such film which is
very important in modern India so it was important that we needed a proper
release date for this film," said John.
"And now I am not just an actor
but a producer as well. I am producing this film with AKriaj Entertainment so I
feel box-office collection is also important aspect of film business and now I
think we have got good release date," added the actor who was present with
Prerna Arora for NDTV's "Banega Swachh India" campaign along with Amitabh
Bachchan on Mahatma Gandhi's jayanti on Monday which is now also known as
National Cleanliness Day.
Earlier, "Parmanu - The Story of Pokhran" was
scheduled to release on December 8 and there were reports that the producers
decided to postpone it to avoid clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmavati".
Reacting to the reports, Arora, who is the founder of Kriaj
Entertainment,said,
"'Padmavati' was earlier scheduled to release on
December 17 which has been preponed to December 1."
"Our film is big and
important and is made with lot of heart. It's the important film for the country
as well so we wanted to showcase it in right way and we wanted to have
availability of sufficient screens around us. We wanted everything to happen
correctly so that's reason we thought not to come on December 8," she added.
The film also stars Daina Penty and Boman Irani. It is directed by Abhishek
Sharma and produced by Zee Studio, JA Entertainment and Kriaj Entertainment.
