DEADLINE finally meets its deadline

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,October 23 2006]

After being stuck in the cans for around a year with title hassle playing a major contributor to its delay, Tanveer Khan directed 'DEADLINE - Sirf 24 Ghante' is finally ready for a release.

Bollywood followers may remember that that this thriller starring Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Rajit Kapoor, Sandhya Mridul and Zakir Hussain with Princey 'Jhanak' Shukla was ready late last year but came to a halt when director Prakash Jha claimed the original title belonged to him. Though producer Ravi Agrawal added a tagline 'Sirf 24 Ghante' to the film's title, Jha argued that the title Deadline was registered with the association much before and it made no difference if there were a few words added to it.

The issue appears to have sorted out now as the film is gearing up for a November 10 release. This is Tanveer Khan's second directorial outing after 'Madhoshi' [John Abraham, Bipasha Basu and Priyanshu Chatterjee].
