Five movie trailers to release with ‘Agneepath’

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 07:54 PM PST


If you are planning to watch the new "Agneepath", get ready to take a peek at as many as five forthcoming movies as the trailers of "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu", "Talaash", "Rowdy Rathore", "Agent Vinod" and "Tezz" will release alongside the Hrithik Roshan-starrer when it comes out Jan 26.
"Attaching trailers to big releases is effective due to the eyeballs the weekend generates, and in this case, it's a long weekend due to the Republic Day holiday. But it can only be leveraged if there is exhibitor's support," the film's producer Karan Johar said in a statement.
Sunil Punjabi, CEO, Cinemax India Ltd, points out that over the last three months "Agneepath" has built up consumer expectations. Therefore, he feels it is the right platform for these movies to showcase their first looks as they will be able to reach out to a wider audiences.
"The marketing team is following the Big Bang theory, hit as many eyeballs as you can at the same time," said Punjabi.
It is being said that Saif Ali Khan and Venus are paying theatres to screen trailers of "Agent Vinod" and "Tezz". Punjabi supports the trend as he feels it provides a good business opportunity.
"With a film like 'Agneepath', the regular ad volumes are up by almost 15 times, so we would be losing out on revenue if we had to accommodate these trailers for free. But by charging a nominal rate, which is one-fifth of what we'd charge the advertisers, we've created a win-win situation for exhibitors, distributors and producers," he said.
Directed by Karan Malhotra, "Agneepath" is the remake of the 1990 film which was directed by Mukul Anand and produced by late filmmaker Yash Johar, whose son Karan Johar has made the new version. – IANS

No acting for my daughter Trishala – Sanjay Dutt

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 07:52 PM PST


When it comes to his daughter Trishala, Sanjay Dutt is a very protective father. He does not want her in showbiz.
The 22-year-old was interested in acting but Sanjay didn't back her.
"Absolutely true and underline it 500 times," Sanjay told IANS, about his opposition. "If somebody says give me the reason, I am going to show my finger because she is my daughter."
Trishala is from Sanjay's first wife Richa Sharma, who was an actress and died of cancer.
The 51-year-old Sanjay, now married to Manyata from whom he has twins, believes women have to struggle a lot in the film industry and he doesn't want his daughter to face all this.
"If you want the reason, my father (Sunil Dutt) never wanted any female from my family to join the film industry. Not because film industry is a bad place for woman, not because film industry is taboo in the country, only because it's a huge struggle for women. Being the oldest in the family I can't give up that legacy," said Sanjay, whose mother Nargis was a top notch actress of the 1950s and 1960s.
This restriction is not only imposed on his daughter, but his nieces are kept away from the arclight.
"My sisters would have also come… even their daughters, who are so pretty, could also have come," he said.
Unfortunately, he didn't spend some quality time in her childhood days with Trishala, who was raised by her maternal grand parents in the US.
"I have never seen the aspect of fatherhood with Trishala. That's a sad thing and my bad luck. I feel sad for her. Anyways that was my bad luck. I wish I could spend all those moments with her also. Nonetheless, we will make up." – IANS
