Fox Star to go ahead with release of Bol Bachchan on 6 July
MUMBAI: Fox Star Studios is gearing up to release Bol Bachchan on 6 July, even as a film financer has filed a court case with issue of pending news.
The entire episode stems from the fact that film financier Raju Shah has moved court against Sri Ashtavinayak, alleging they owe him Rs 360 million and had threatened to stop release of the film.
Fox Star Studios CEO Vijay Singh said, “We are aware of recent media reports, surrounding claims being made by third parties against one of the producers, Shri Ashtavinayak and would say that these are issues between Ashtavinayak and its creditors.”
No one from Ashtavinayak wished to comment on the issue.
Fox Star Studios has acquired all rights to the film. “Bol Bachchan couldn‘t have come at a better time. It‘s a hilarious comedy and an end-to-end entertainer, which will leave audiences asking for more. We have already had a great response to the videos, promos, music and trailers which are on air at the moment,” Singh said.
He added that while the preparations are on for the release, the company is already planning to work with Devgn and Rohit Shetty on more such collaborations in future.
