'Fukrey Returns' won't be overshadowed: Producer
Mumbai

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani, who is excited about his upcoming
home-production "Fukrey Returns", says his film will not get overshadowed by
other big-budget films.
Asked about his film releasing between two
big-ticket films like "Padmavati" and "Tiger Zinda Hai", the producer told
media: "Well, if you think our film will get sandwiched between the two big
releases, I would say the meat of the sandwich is always much tastier, isn't
it?"
"Honestly, I am not apprehensive about it. 'Fukrey Returns' won't be
overshadowed because of its genre. I know how massive 'Padmavati' is, and
'Tiger...' is a Salman Khan film. But our film is a comedy, the genre is
different."
It is festive season and there will be enough footfall,
people will come to watch all the films, he said.
Citing the example of
this year's Diwali releases, Ritesh said: "Like the way a comedy film like
'Golmaal Again' did well at the box office and a 'Secret Superstar' also got
noticed... I think our film will also reach its audience."
The producer
was present along with the actors of the film Richa Chadha, Pulkit Samrat, Varun
Sharma, Ali Fazal and Manjot Singh for the launch of a song.
"Fukrey
Returns" is releasing on December 15.
