Mausam to be on screen on sept. 23
Much-talked about film Mausam, which was scheduled for a Friday release, will now hit the screens across the globe September 23.
The decision has been taken to avoid fragmented release, said Shahid Kapoor, who plays the lead role in the film.
“We are here to announce the changed release date of our film from September 16 to September 23. The reason for this is that we had applied for two permisions — a NOC (no objection certificate) from the IAF (Indian Air Force) and certification from the censor board. We got U-certificate from the censor board, but IAF gave us a conditional certificate because they wanted a 30-second scene from a particular sequence to be corrected,” Shahid told reporters here Wednesday.
“They wanted a tiny little detail changed. Because the scene required computer graphics, even a small change requires a lot of time. That is why it took us so many days to make the correction. We got the NOC last (Tuesday) night,” added the actor. The screenings of the film at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival were also cancelled due to the censor delay, the organisers said.
“We are extremely disappointed that the studio has informed us that the film will not have received the necessary regulatory approvals in India, forcing us to cancel all screenings of Mausam,” Cameron Bailey, co-director of the festival, said in a statement.
Mausam, a romantic film, is Shahid’s father Pankaj Kapoor’s directorial debut and in the film Shahid plays a fighter pilot and is seen “flying” a fighter.
The romantic saga will see Shahid falling in love with a Kashmiri girl, played by Sonam Kapoor.
