- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,June 15 2016]
Movie 'Udta Punjab' has finally got the sigh of relief, this Friday, June 17 the movie will be hitting screens. Filmmaker Abhishek Chaubey is excited to get the green signal from Bombay HC as it will have a wide release on approximately 2,000 screens.
Ekta Kapoor from Balaji Motion Pictures, has produced the film along with Phantom Films, which comprises of Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl, Madhu Mantena and Vikramaditya Motwane among others. At a recent press conference, Ekta said, "The teams have worked together... Phantom and Balaji and we have a very interesting set of distributors who've supported us through this whole turmoil and I think we will be having just the kind of release this film deserves and needs. We won't open it too wide. But it'll be a pretty wide release, keeping its genre and its audiences in mind."
After a journalist pointed out that the stock price of Balaji Motion Pictures has gone up by 9 percent after the positive verdict for the film, Ekta opened up saying, "I don't minutely ever follow my stock like this. If it is 9 percent up or 10 percent down, what is important is a film was made with Abhishek's conviction and the only strategy now after all the delays we have gone through, is to release it well. Anurag and the team have given their best to put this film, fight for this film, Abhishek has done his best. As far as Balaji's stocks, there are enough ways to keep the stock up and I hope it keeps staying up. It's not my first and foremost concern."
