Rakesh Roshan’s ‘Kaabil’ to release in Pakistan
The ban on Indian films in Pakistan will be lifted this week with the release of Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam starrer ‘Kaabil’. Hrithik excitedly spoke about it and said, “Yes, Kaabil is releasing in Pakistan this week. It is the only Bollywood release this week breaking the ban. It’s historical!”
Rakesh Roshan admits that he went through a lot of difficulties for Kaabil as the film was pitched against Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ at the Box Office. He said, “If it wasn’t for Raees our film would’ve made far larger profits. We were given only 40 percent theaters and screens, while they got 60 percent. But there is no point in crying over spilled milk. My belief in God is above all considerations. We got less number of screens than promised to us. But the Almighty opened other doors to do justice to us and to compensate for our losses. We now have our fingers crossed to touch Rs. 100 crores.”
He further added, “They’re welcoming us with open arms and heart. So my overseas distributors and my team are reciprocating with an equal amount of warm in the release of Kaabil.”
The father-son duo seem quite excited about this international release!
