Bhootnath to do what Tashan couldn't manage  Bhootnath to do what Tashan couldn't manage
With Tashan proving to be a box office dud, theatre owners are now banking on Ravi Chopra's
forthcoming venture Bhootnath schedule for a May 9 release. The makers feel that Amitabh
Bachchan can save the day with summer vacations coming on. The bonus point of the film will be
the two superstars, Amitabh and Shah Rukh Khan, who are performing in the film together after
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. "Summer vacations are on and the promos are targeting kids. Bhootnath
has indeed managed to generate a lot of interest amongst them. Amitabh in a comic role after a
long time, coupled with some really good special effects in the film may also bring in a lot of
footfalls," informs Girish Wankhede of Cinemax.
Trade ananlyst Vinod Mirani informs, "Amitabh Bachchan is popular among the kids but it all
depends on the length of the film too." J. Popat, general manager of late N.N. Sippy (Janata
Films Distributors) says, "Not all big starcast films run. Look what happened to Tashan, It was
a big banner and it had a bigger starcast to boast of. The film didn’t even have a good
opening. In Bhootnath, Shah Rukh Khan has a cameo." |
