Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Ferrari Ki Sawaari, some of the films able to tackle cricket, has now been pushed forward to after IPL Season 5. “Yes, we’re not approaching April 27. We haven’t locked a date yet, but it surely it will be in June after the IPL,” confirms writer-producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
He adds that it’s not because he's frightened of the contest from cricket, but because some shots should be canned. And he didn’t wish to have a release on his head and an incomplete film on his hands. “I set to work on Ferrari Ki Sawaari when 3 Idiots (2009) was still being shot. It’s taken us four years to jot down it. It’s one in all our finest scripts, and that i need to give it the time it deserves,” says Vinod, recalling Hollywood filmmaker Ingmar Bergman’s three commandments, the second one being ‘thou shall entertain without selling your soul’.
Insisting that money hasn't ever been his driving force, Vinod points to the truth that in place of profiting from his hit franchise and raking in Rs 100 crore within the first weekend itself, he’s been writing Munnabhai Ki Atmakatha for the last four years. The film is finally able to be flagged off this September.
“At a time when films are made just for the primary weekend, Amitabh Bachchan, seeing Ferrari Ki Sawaari, pointed it out that I’m still making my movies for Mondays. I hold him in great regard. He was one of the crucial first to look the film,” says Chopra who has shown the film revolving around a bit of boy whose dream of driving a Ferrari takes him to the Lord’s cricket pitch, to around 300-400 people from different walks of life. “Around 1,000 will see it at special screenings through May with us being attentive to their inputs. Then we take the film into the theatres and to a bigger audience.”
