With April 22 fixed as the release date for "Waqt-Race Against Time", exhibitors are vying with each other for acquiring the film. The brochures with Amitabh Bachchan's personal notes are said to have come in for much appreciation among exhibitors.

Akshay Kumar Films, the new distribution concern, tied up with Shrinagar for the Mumbai release of the film. The Shrinagar people are reportedly impressed with the film.

"It is an extraordinary film by all means, one that is likely to appeal to every section of the masses," said Balkrishna Shroff of Shrinagar, which is closely working out the release strategy with producer-director Vipul Shah.
