Yash Raj Films is releasing their first film of 2009 – New York amidst the peak of IPL’s season 2. But then again the release day is also subject to the differences being resolved between film producers, distributors and exhibitors.
One can recall, Yash Raj doing the same last year during IPL’s season 1 by releasing their mega starrer Tashan in last week of April and falling flat on its face. One now has to see what is in store for their first release of 2009 which is not a regular typical Yash Raj entertainer but a hard hitting one. The film is a contemporary story of friendship set against the larger than life backdrop of a city often described as the centre of the world. For most of us, larger events in the world are just headlines in the newspapers but these events can change our lives… forever. The film is one such story of 3 young friends whose beautiful lives are turned upside down by larger events beyond their control.
Written and Directed by Kabul Express fame Kabir Khan and Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan. The trailer of the movie first released in theatres along with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and created quiet a buzz. Though its promotions began, they were suddenly stopped in between leading to speculation that film has been postponed for June 2009 release.
