Karan Johar's Drive featuring Sushant Singh Rajput in deep trouble?

Bollywood Hungama News Network

Mon Jun 25 8:00:04 IST

Why are so many of Sushant Singh Rajput's films getting shelved or delayed? Barely had we gotten over the fact that his dream project Paani with Shekhar Kapur has been aborted, and that the space odyssey Chanda Mama Door Ke has been indefinitely delayed. Now comes the news that Sushant's almost-ready-for-release starrer Drive, his first for Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, is in trouble. Deep trouble.

According to sources in the know, the film's producer Karan Johar is not happy with the end-product. "Karan has already sent back the film for re-shooting twice. But even after director Tarun Mansukhani re-shot portions of Drive, Karan was unhappy. At the moment, the future of the film seems uncertain. Because Karan is not willing to release it the way it has shaped up now, says the well-informed source.

This is not the first time that Karan Johar and his protege Tarun Mansukhani have had creative differences. Way back in 2009, Karan greenlighted Mansukhani's Dostana 2 with Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Katrina Kaif. But, the project was put on indefinite hold and finally shelved as Mansukhani could not come up with a satisfactory script.
Drive, which was to release in 2017, was pushed to March 2018. That date too was postponed. The film is unlikely to meet its current release date in September 2018.

Was suppose to release in Sept. Sushant needs to choose scripts and PH carefully.

They had finished shoot end of last year and since then there has been no reshoot and it's funny how these portals can't even get basic release date information right ...the film was never supposed to release in 2017...it was always 2018 and yes it got pushed once.

The outsiders get starstuck... They get an offer from Karan Johar, they probably feel like they have arrived

Tarun directing a remake of a film like Drive that too with a heroine like Jacqueline, was never going to be a good idea 🥱

Btw barring Anushka in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, when was the last time KJo cast a non star-kid or Sidharth Malhotra? Even his next films are Dhadak, Simbhaa, Brahmastra, Kalank and Ranabhoomi

Sab multi insider films

Really? There were so many pieces about it. Well, with the director and actress, it was still a bad idea 😆

People like SSR, Kartik Aryan, Ayushman Khurana, Parineeti Chopra and any other outsider male or female should stay far away from PHs like YRF and Dharma which are of insiders, by insiders and for insiders. Maybe go for them only like Akki did. Twenty years later(if they survive as A listers that long) when they are in a position to dictate terms to them and not viceversa.

Till then for low budget films let them manage with people like Ranveer, Ranbir, Shahid, Arjun, Varun, Alia and other insiders and for big budget films let them manage with the Khans or Akshay who make them run from pillar to post for every single rupee of profit.

Vicky Kaushal in Raazi and Lust Stories and that SOTY2 girl -- Tara? 😆

Still it's very very few. IMHO, outsiders should stay far away from Dharma and only work with them when they're in a position of power.
