Thanks to the two 'dry' months (without releases) and other reasons, the three big films, which were scheduled to hit the screens this year, have all been postponed. Karan Johar had, even before leaving for the USA for the current shooting schedule of his 'My Name Is Khan', announced that the film would be released next year instead of December this year.
The other two films which have reportedly been moved ahead are Rakesh Roshan's 'Kites' and Vidhu Vinod Chopra's '3 Idiots'.
At the meeting of the core committee of producers and distributors, held on 19th June, Mukesh Bhatt is reported to have announced that both, Rakesh Roshan and Vinod Chopra, had conveyed to him their plans to postpone the release of their films to 2010.
As it is, the year 2009 so far has been extremely dull for the box-office. Imagine what it will be like, now that these three big films are not likely to hit the screens in the second half.
