The ICC Champions Trophy worrying Bollywood Producers???

Looks like the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in India is giving jitters to many big fim producers in Bollywood. And that includes Ritesh Sidhwani, the producer of Shahrukh Khan starrer Don – The Chase Begins…again.

Cricket is treated like a religion in India, and the release dates of many big fims will have to be reconsidered because Champions Trophy is the second largest Cricket tournament in the world. The fact that this tourney is gonna be played in India also adds to woes of the our film producers.

Don is all set to be released on October 20th, and around the same time all the big teams will be playing some do-or-die matches. Already most of big Indian Television channels are making big plans and this will give more reasons for Ritesh and Farhan Akhtar to worry.

And to compete with Don, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar starrer Jaan-E-Mann is going to be released on the same day, but the movie will incur huge losses if anything goes wrong (it is supposedly made with a whooping Rs 35crore). No wonder Sajid Nadiadwala wouldn’t want to loose money around Diwali.
Unfortunately, Tanuja Chandra’s Sushmita Sen starrer Zindagi Rocks will not see any huge affect on the movie. Even one of the larger production houses, Rajashri Productions has safely set the release date of Vivah in November. And Ramgopal Varma isn’t even considering the release of Nishabdh soon.

But if by any means, ICC Champions Trophy, Don and Jaan-E-Mann click well, then all the Indians will have a dhamak-e-daar Diwali (Keep your finger crossed)

But going by the present situation (and history as well), one strongly feels that Ritesh is going to postpone his release date. What say guys, should the producers play safe or do you think Shahrukh and Salman still have the magic?
