Release date of Balaji’sThe Big Picture now on 24 November
MUMBAI:The release date of Balaji Motion Pictures‘ next film, The Dirty Picture, has been postponed. It will now release on 24 November instead of 28 October.
Says Balaji Motion Pictures CEO Tanuj Garg, “Right now we are shooting in Hyderabad. The next schedule is in Mumbai in August after which the principal photography of the film would have been completed. Thereafter, we will need at least two months of post production. Hence, the minor re-scheduling of release date.”
The film was mired by a series of bandhs in Hyderabad that caused a complete standstill at Ramoji Rao Studio where the film is currently being shot.
The Dirty Picture, starring Vidya Balan in the lead, is a biopic on the life of the late Silk Smitha. Directed by Milan Luthria, the film stars Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor.
