Release of Kaminey, Life Partner postponed in Mumbai, Pune due to swine flu threat

Mumbai: The released of Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra starrer Kaminey and Life Partner, featuring Genelia Desuza and Fardeen Khan, has been postponed in Mumbai and Pune, as all cinemas and multiplexes in the state will remain closed for three days due to the swine flu scare.

Filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj's much awaited film was to be released on August 14 (2009), but that has been delayed now.

However, the film will release in the rest of the country as per schedule.

"Whether they resume after the three-day shutdown has still not been decided," Shahid Kapoor said.

"This is only in Mumbai and Pune. I have a hunch it is because of the Dahi Handi festival because there's a lot of mass movement in Mumbai during the event," Bharadwaj said.

Kaminey won't release in Mumbai

Kaminey fans have reason to frown as the multiplexes in Mumbai will be shut for three days because of swine flu. Even the Delhi premiere has been cancelled.

A source told SBO, "Kaminey is not releasing this week and will incur a loss of 15 crores almost if it gets postponed. It is only in Mumbai that it is not releasing. Cinema halls will be closed because of the swine flu scare. The producers are very worried because they wanted to cash in on the long weekend as Friday is Gokulashtmi and Saturday is Independence Day. Also, multiplexes were running paid previews on Thursday night. Multiplexes are expected to open on Sunday or Monday."

The spokesperson of Kaminey said, "Everything is on hold right now because of the multiplexes being shut down. We are not even sure of the press show."

According to a reliable source from the film, the Delhi premiere has been cancelled and a screening with the cast has been arranged in its place.

When we called up Cinemax, an executive said, "We have no update about tomorrow. We are booking tickets for today and tomorrow's shows. If the shows get cancelled then the patrons will get their money back."

Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO of UTV confirms Kaminey will not release in Mumbai on Friday. "There is immense buzz and anticipation around the release of Kaminey which is clearly one of the most awaited films of the year. There is already a heavy rush for Paid Previews of the film nationwide and in US/ UK & Dubai. We are going ahead with the release of the film this Friday across the country and worldwide in 1200 screens. This will not include the markets of Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai following the directive given by the government. We look forward to release the film in these regions as soon as the cinemas are given permission to re-open. Being a corporate we are fully insured for the 2 day delay we are facing in these markets."

StarBoxOffice is awfully disappointed that Kaminey may not release in Mumbai this week and empathizes with everyone who will have to deal with boredom this weekend.
