Himesh Reshammiya's acting debut Aap Ka Surroor has unexpected comptition from the sumptuous fringes.
The Deols have decided to release their ambitious joint-family saga Apne on the same Friday (June 29) as Himesh's much awaited and long-scheduled acting debut.
Is this just the guroor to counter Himesh's Suroor? It looks like it.
Himesh personally requested the Deols to re-schedule their magnum opus. But to no avail.
Says the capped composer. "Yes, I did request them to come on another Friday. But they refused. I respect their decision. I'm sure they've their own reasons for coming on June 29. I think our film is very small compared with theirs.
It stars Dharamji and his two sons, which means it has 300 percent boxoffice clout where as my film has an untried singer-turned-actor whom the whole world is waiting to rip apart."
However Himesh has a trump card. "Apne is apna film too. I've done the music score for that film. And I'm very proud of my songs. Yes. I do admit I'm partial to Aap Ka Surroor. It's very special to me on many counts."
He pauses to consider the repercussions and then observes, "I think June 29 is going to be a very decisive Friday. Not only mine and the Deols' film, but Mahesh Bhatt's Awaarapan is also being released.
That film too special to me.It stars my friend Emran Hashmi...I think June 29 will disprove the myth that only one film at the most, does well on any Friday."
