Bhandarkar unable to clash with GowarikerIt’s well known that Madhur Bhandarkar (pictured left) and Ashutosh Gowariker’s friendship soured after Ashu spoke ill about Priyanka Chopra winning the best actress award for Madhur’s “Fashion” at this year’s IIFA awards, which miffed Bhandarkar no end.
In a rage, Madhur decided to get even by clashing with Ashu at the box-office, announcing September 25 as the release date for his film “Jail”, which is also the date for the release of Gowariker’s next film, “What’s Your Rashee?”.
This no doubt upset Ashu, as he wants as wide an exposure for his film as possible.
However, now, it’s once again Bhandarkar who’s fuming.
The Association of Motion Pictures & TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) has called Madhur and UTV, co-producers of “Jail”, telling them to postpone the release of their film to October 23 as David Dhawan’s “Do Knot Disturb” is also releasing on September 25.
Madhur had made full plans to release the film on September 25 so this one month delay has upset him a great deal.
