Anurag Basu’s woes continue over Barfi!!
Anurag Basu’s Barfi, delayed yet again. First, Ranbir sited date issues and now, its the film’s lead lady, Priyanka Chopra who is unable to give dates for the film.
The film’s release has been delayed twice already and now, once again, it may be delayed further – reason being Priyanka Chopra.
Says a source close to the film, “Only Priyanka’s portion remains to be shot, the film is complete. The producers have already postponed the release from July 13 to August 31 to give Peecee to devote a couple of days. But she’s already started on Zanjeer.”
If buzz is to be believed, Ranbir Kapoor, frustrated with the delay time and again, has personally asked Priyanka to block two days in her calendar, for Barfi.
Basu on the other hand supporting Priyanka says, “Our schedules went haywire and all the actors had to re-adjust their dates. Priyanka tried her best to accommodate us. I’m sure she will manage to give us the two crucial days.”
Meanwhile, the dubbing of Basu’s other leading lady Ileana’s is being worked upon.
Says he, “Ranbir has no dubbing to do since he plays a deaf and mute character. I’m happy to say Ileana’s Hindi has improved and she can confidently dub her own lines. Not bad for a girl who couldn’t speak the language when she started.”
