If producers of these films have their way, they would both be looking forward to bring their CHEENI KUM and SHOOT OUT AT LOKHANDWALA on May 25. But one wonders if distributors and exhibitioners would give a green signal to this desire of Suneel Manchanda and Sanjay Gupta respectively.

Though both the films belong to different genres and are poles apart when it comes to setting and budget (CHEENI KUM is a light hearted mid-budget entertainer whereas SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA is a multistarrer big budget action/drama/thriller), they both would be vying for an early release. Reason? CHEENI KUM has been ready for months and has already been moved from an earlier planned release in March timeframe.

On the other hand it has been quite a while since a film came from Sanjay Gupta and he would be eager to kick start his year since he has multiple films lined up in the remainder of the year, most notable being DUS KAHANIYAAN, WOODSTOCK VILLA and ALIBAUG.

Looking at the urgency that both film makers would have to bring their product out at theaters, it would be quite an interesting observation to see if the two films move around their release date or stick on to the plan to result in a Bachchan v/s Bachchan clash!
