As per a tabloid, Eros’ owners were the first to come on board for the film. Pen India joined in much later. Due to cash flow issues, the production house signed a deal in partnership with Pen and ADF. The film was supposed to be a Rs 70 crore film with Eros and Pen agreeing on a 50-50 investment plan. However, during shooting, it was scaled up so as to not compromise on the final outcome. Eros was unwilling to shell out the extra money and ultimately, bowed out of the project.
Also, Jayantilal Gada on Pen India confirmed to the tabloid that Pen and Narendra Hirawat are now distributing the film in India while Reliance will take care of overseas distribution. Also, the music rights which initially belonged to Eros Now will now be given to T-series. But he refused to reveal why Eros is no longer a part of the deal. On the other hand, Krishna Lulla, owner of Eros decided not to comment anything on the matter.
The team has put in a lot of money in the making so will it reach up to the makers’expectations or not, only time will tell. Also, it is clashing Karan Johar’s magnanimous directorial film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Both the films are releasing on October 28, during Diwali.
