For the last couple of months there have been strong indications around Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone facing an unlikely face off with their Barfi and Cocktail respectively taking on each other by releasing on the same day. However as things stand today, chances of such fireworks are more or less extinct, what with none of the two films showing any inclination to arrive on the earlier decided date.
A source says, “There was stoic silence from both Anurag Basu and Saif Ali Khan, the producers of Barfi and Cocktail respectively, as regards the release date, which was rumoured to be July 13. But both the films are yet to finalise a first look and it seems highly unlikely that they will be ready in July. So we can well forget about a Ranbir-Deepika clash right now. But that’s for another day.”
With the ex-lovers already working together in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, a face-off at the box office would be uncalled for at the moment. Did we hear a sigh of relief?
