Earlier we had it that ‘3 Idiots’ will bring the first looks of ‘Rajneeti’ on its release. However the producer of ‘3 Idiots’ seems to have got second thoughts now.

It is said that Vidhu Vinod Chopra has asked UTV, the distributors of ‘Rajneeti’, to withdraw their film’s trailer from 3 Idiots’s interval slot. Said sources, “This decision came in the wake of a private screening of '3 Idiots' held recently. Everybody who saw the film spoke very highly about the trailer of 'Raajneeti' and felt that it would be a very strong film. This set Vidhu’s mind ticking and he decided that he would rather do away with the trailer than have people distracted from '3 Idiots'.”

Prakash Jha, the director of 'Rajneeti' confirmed the news recalling that Vidhu had initially appreciated his film and he was glad to screen it. “Now he has developed cold feet at the last minute. UTV told me that Vidhu found that at a recent screening of 3 Idiots, people who saw the film were talking only about the trailer of 'Raajneeti'. Vidhu hasn’t spoken to me but I learnt that he found the trailer of 'Raajneeti' too powerful,” stated Jha.

However, only the Indian prints of ‘3 Idiots’ won’t carry the ‘Rajneeti’ trailers, as the overseas prints with the trailers are already said to be dispatched.
