TIPS ecstatic with Sharman’s Hello success
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 4:34 pm
TIPS are not the producers of Atul Agnihotri’s recently released HELLO which managed a surprisingly good opening at its opening weekend. But yet they are rejoicing about the film’s success. The reason? Sharman Joshi who is the lead star of Hello. In today’s times of big star names failing to pull in a good initial, he has managed the impossible. Sharman’s role too has been liked by the critics and the audiences alike. He has played the character of Shyam from One Night At The Call Centre, the book on which Hello is based upon.
Just few months back when TIPS has signed Sharman in the lead for their film, Toh Baat Pakki, many industry people had raised their eyebrows at his decision to take a not so happening actor in his film as a main lead. It was a big risk for Ramesh Taurani of TIPS whose Toh Baat Pakki also stars another not so famous actor, Vatsal Seth and Tabu. But now he is heaving a sigh of relief that he can look forward to a good opening for his film like Hello. Also, he must be praying silently now for Vatsal’s film, Heroes which is releasing in two weeks from now to strike big at the box office too. Now that will be a double whammy for TIPS.
