Actor Emraan Hashmi launched the trailer of his forthcoming film Shanghai, with the remainder of the forged in Mumbai. The launch, which was speculated to happen on April 5, was delayed for per week. The delay, consistent with sources from the film’s unit, happened because Hashmi’s dates are being controlled
by the Bhatts (producers Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt) who're working with the actor on Raaz 3 and Jannat 2.
“Emraan had earlier agreed to the trailer launch on April 5, but later sent a message via his manager saying he couldn’t do it. For the reason that music launch of Jannat 2 was happening around April 5, they (the Bhatts) made him delay our launch,” says the insider.
“I was heartbroken that we weren't in a position to kick off the promotion with the trailer launch. We went through hell getting Abhay and Emraan’s combination dates after which getting it changed another time. But I ASSUME if I USED TO BE the producer of Jannat 2, I'D just do the same,” says Dibakar Banerjee, director, Shanghai.
“They (Shanghai filmmakers) wish to publicise their movie through Jannat 2. They would like to ride on its wave,” says Mukesh Bhatt.
