The film which was supposed to have released on May 9 but was postponed to June 20, is now scheduled to release on September 12!
If sources are to be believed, the film was postponed since the producers wanted to avoid any sort of clash with films like Love Story 2050 and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Also Yash Raj’s Bachna Eh Haseeno is set to release in August and considering the film might eat into the business of Aashayein, the film was further pushed to September!
An industry insider told us, “John is not keen on promoting the film, since it is not finding ample takers, given its serious subject. Besides John’s previous off beat films have not done exceedingly well at the box office either. No Smoking, Zinda, Baabul, Salaam-E-Ishq and even Goal failed to create Dhoom at the box office when compared to his debut film Dhoom!”
“People have always liked John in a glamorous role and Aashayein will not see him like that. John too is apprehensive about the film to a certain extent revealed a close friend of John’s too.
But it’s not just the actor or the producers who have been dodging the film for a while, even director Nagesh Kukunoor has decided to concentrate on his next film Bemisal which stars newcomer and former Miss India 2005 Sindura Gadde.
“Nagesh has already started the pre production work for Bemisal and is giving all the attention to it. Seems like he has even stopped bothering about Aashayein, since it has been delayed a little too long”, said a unit hand of Bemisal.
All we can suggest to Nagesh and John right now is to have some hope for their film which is titled Aashayein!
