New Delhi, May 31 (UNI) Director Dibakar Banerjee's 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar' which is now pushed to release on March 1, next year, says 2019 is when India will choose its future, and he is looking forward to release the movie that time and choose his.
The movie stars Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra.
'I feel this is my first film all over again, at least in terms of the excitement with the material. Sandeep and Pinky bring to screen the two India’s that are forever clashing. I want the audience not to lose a second of that. We finished the shoot one month late because of the intense weather conditions on the Indo-Nepal border,' Dibakar said.
'I don’t want Sandeep and Pinky to be short-changed on edit time. YRF agreed with my request and so we are pressing on together to the new date. 2019 is when India chooses its future. I’m looking forward to release in that year and choose mine,' he said.
The Dibakar Banerjee thriller will see Arjun play the role of a Haryanvi cop, while Parineeti essays the role of an ambitious girl from the corporate world whose lives suddenly intertwine.
Rohan Malhotra, VP, Distribution at YRF adds, 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar will now release on March 1, 2019. Arjun and Parineeti have Namaste England releasing on Dussehra this year and the makers had announced this date a while back. It would have been unfair for us to request them to shift their film. Also, we wanted to have a gap between these two films as it features the same star cast and given the extremely busy release calendar of this year, we feel March 1 is the best date for our movie to open.”
