Ranbir Kapoor speaks up on the clash being averted between Sanjay Dutt biopic and ‘TZH’

Ranbir Kapoor will be seen playing the lead role in Sanjay Dutt’s biopic. The movie was slated to hit the screens during Christmas this year, and was going to clash with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer ‘Tiger Zinda hai’. However, now the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer has been postponed to March 2018.

Recently, Ranbir was asked whether the reason for his film being postponed is his lack of confidence. To which the actor said, “I don’t think so. I think a film has its own destiny and everyone should put the best version of the picture in front of the audience. I have not played the part in the release date of the film and the clash. ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ is the biggest film of the Indian cinema coming this year.”

“I am sure the producers would have done good meetings, understood the logistics, the budget like how much the film can earn and all and have taken this wise decision. But I have nothing to play in it (referring to pushing the release date). I am an actor I am told the film is coming in March and that’s fine as long as the film is good,” he added.

Ranbir’s upcoming flick ‘Jagga Jasoos’ was also going to clash with films Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Chef’, Sridevi’s ‘Mom’ and Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Haseena’. However, now ‘Jagga Jasoos’ will be getting a solo release as other films have shifted their release dates.

When asked about it, the actor said, “Any film that clashes losses business. But at the same time I think irrespective of the clash audience will come to watch a film. If the film is good, people will talk about it; spread word about it and people will come and see it. But it’s a good sign that the other films have moved and we should send them thank you notes. I am very happy.”

‘Jagga Jasoos’, which also stars Katrina Kaif, will be hitting the screens on July 14, 2017.
