Let Aditya Chopra Make Films for Multiplexes: Boney Kapoor
Riding high on the success of the Salman Khan starrer ‘Wanted’ which that became a huge hit in single screen theatres, Boney Kapoor, the producer of the film said he is happy making film for the masses, let Aditya Chopra make films for multiplexes.
‘Wanted’ reportedly earned about Rs.38 crore across the country in its first week. Surprisingly, it is the single screens which generated 70 percent of the total business.
‘Let Aditya Chopra make films for multiplexes. I’m happy reaching out to the masses,’ Kapoor told IANS.
‘The collections of ‘Wanted’ speak for themselves. In the first week it has done better business than ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ did in its entire run. There was gun-firing between two sections of clashing Salman fans in a theatre named Rishi in Bulandshahr,’ he added.
Commenting on why Yash Raj Films’ ‘Dil Bole Haddipa’ didn’t do well, Kapoor said: ‘Their intended USP was the Punjabi culture. Ironically the film didn’t even open well in Punjab. How does one explain this?
‘Their other USP was Rani Mukerji dressed as a man. But old-time heroines like Asha Parekh and Saira Banu have done that long ago. And they were buxom ladies therefore tantalising in their cross-dressing. With due respects to her amazing talent Rani looked like a school boy.’
As far as a ‘Wanted’ party is concerned, Kapoor says they will party as soon as director Prabhudeva is back in town. ‘Our director Prabhudeva got caught up in an assignment in Kerala. So we’ve postponed the party for next week. We can’t celebrate without Prabhu.’
