latest update on release date of 'Mental'

Sohail Khan has officially cleared the air on the title of 'Mental' in Dubai. Sohail was there for some promotional campaign for investment properties in Burj Pacific. There he mentioned that he and his brother Salman Khan is happy with the title of 'Mental' of their upcoming film. Film is a satire and the name is absolutely apt with the subject. He even given a tentative release date of Mental as January 2014.

Film major shooting is nearly complete. Film will be in post production stage from July around. That means Mental has still enough time for release in 2013. As last information received few days back, makers are looking for a suitable date preferably in November this year. December release is also on radar but with Dhoom 3 in December that is a lesser probability. Even if makers release the film in December they will want to have 2 weeks of gap from Dhoom 3 which also stars Salman Khan 'close buddy' Aamir Khan.

As for distributors and exhibitors who are one of the major deciding factor for release date are still gung ho for the film on any release date in 2013. Even with lack of good release dates in 2013 and all good dates are booked now, still they are eager for the Salman release. Salman carries very good positivity among them as he has given them huge profits in last 4-5 years at box office back to back.

So, Mental will be the official title of Salman Khan's upcoming film as opposed to media report recently that film title will be change. Also Mental now looks for a release in January 2014.

Just in - In an exclusive interview to Emirates24|7 in Dubai, Sohail Khan has given tentative release date of Mental is January 2014. Oh, looks like Salman might not have any release in 2013! Wait for more on that follows...
