MUMBAI: After a not so good opening, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta starrer Jaan-E-Mann collections have swiftly picked up due to word of mouth publicity and the Eid celebrations.

After a week opening at the box office it is a rare case for the collections of a film to pick up so drastically. While certain sections of the audience applauded the film, there is also a miniscule section to whom the film hasn’t appealed.
Speaking exclusively to Businesofcinema.com, Jaan-E-Mann director Shirish Kunder says, “The language of the film is new. The style of filmmaking may be a little radical for people to understand but it’s just a matter of time. If not now may be a few years down the line everybody will realize. I am in no hurry.”
He further adds, “I cannot predict the future of Jaan-E-Mann because I am a director and not an astrologer. I can hope for the best. The acceptance of this venture will definitely help me to realize some more imaginative dreams in the future.”
When asked about his “imaginative dreams for future” he says, “I feel it’s too early to pay an obituary to Jaan-E-Mann. As long as I am alive, I will keep making films I believe in and someday the world will get it.”
