Harshvardhan Kapoor's superhero flick, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero which was initially prepped for the same release date as John Abraham's Parmanu - The Story of Pokhran was pushed to June 1. This also happens to be the release date of his sister, Sonam Kapoor's Veere Di Wedding which is being produced by elder sister Rhea! A rather awkward and personal situation for Harsh, not much can be said as it is a purely business decision taken by producers Phantom.
However, there is yet to be a public reaction from either Sonam or Rhea regarding the unexpected collision of their film with brother Harsh on June 1, father Anil Kapoor voiced out his worries in an interview with a leading daily. He said, "These calls are made by the respective studios and distributors, and I respect that. In my entire career, I have never said ki ab release karo ya abhi release mat karo. Neither Harsh nor I are in a position to say anything about the release date."
"The decision regarding Veere's release date has been taken by Rhea and Ekta Kapoor. As a father, I will be anxious about my children. We have to wish for the best," added Anil Kapoor.
Meanwhile, Harshvardhan addressed the clash in an interview and said, "The films belong to two completely different worlds. It’s a great date for both of them because it’s the first weekend after the end of the country’s biggest cricketing league. The other big releases will have filtered out by then too. Sonam, Rhea, dad (Anil Kapoor) and I are thrilled about the simultaneous releases because June 1 will be a day of celebration. We are not looking at it as a clash, it’s a great opportunity."
"With dad, Arjun, Jahnvi and many other siblings working round-the-clock at the movies, there are bound to be more overlaps in the future," Harsh added.
Looks like only the sands of time will tell the fates of these two films on June 1.
