Mimoh's debut film delayed again
Mithun Chakraborty’s son's Mimoh's launch film, Jimmy, has been pushed to mid-May. Vajir Singh has the details.
The release of
Jimmy
has been pushed back from April 18 to mid-May. The trade buzz is that Sahara, which was supposed to release Mimoh
Chakraborty's debut film, backed out at the last minute. But producer Nawman Malik denies this, saying the film was postponed to avoid a clash with the star-studded
Tashan
, set to open on April 25.
"We would have been sandwiched between a trio of biggies,
U Me Aur Hum
and
Krazzy
4 which released last week, and
Tashan
and weren't getting the right chain of theatres," informs Malik.
He admits that he was in talks with Sahara and the deal didn't work out.
"I was getting a better offer from another corporate house," he asserts but refuses to name it saying he will make an official announcement in a couple of days.
Too busy
Quiz him on why Mimoh didn't come for the music release and he points out that even Harman Baweja stayed away from the unveiling of
Love Story 2050
.
"What's the big deal," he shrugs. "Today, youngsters don't want to waste time attending parties. Mimoh was shooting for
Loot
in Bangkok. But the rest of the cast, including his father Mithun was there."
Nawman is planning another film with Mimoh titled
Mausam
but he won't be repeating his
Jimmy
director Raj N Sippy. He says, "I've couple of names in my mind. It'll have one more actor besides Mimoh."
