/> Bravely in spite of the blasts, two of the films to be released this Friday are going ahead as per plans.

Dibakar Banerjee who was at the Goa Film Festival on Thursday with Oye Lucky Oye Oye was unsure about the film's release.

"All I know is that the film's premiere is being postponed. Beyond that I've left the decision to UTV.

However UTV's Siddharth Roy-Kapoor (whose brother Kunal Roy-Kapoor's The President Is Coming was also supposed to release this week) says, "Yes, we're going ahead with the all-India release on Friday. But we're releasing in Mumbai on Saturday instead of Friday."

However Roy-Kapoor's brother Kunal's film The President Is Coming has been postponed.

Says Kunal, "We're not going ahead with the release of my film this week. Given the current circumstances it isn't proper."

Adds Kunal Roy-Kapoor's producer Rohan Sippy, "We've postponed the release in the light if the horrific developments in Mumbai. This is not the right time to release our film. We're only concerned about the victims of this terrible attack."

However Mumbai Mantra which is distributing Onir's Sorry Bhai is going right ahead with the release.

Says the company's head of media promotions Vikramjit Roy, "We've cancelled the premiere of Sorry Bhai due to the situation in Mumbai. But we believe life should return to normalcy and we shouldn't give in to the feeling of terror that these elements want to create. So we're going ahead with the release on Friday"

In the meanwhile the shoting of Leena Bajaj's Teen Patti featuring Amitabh Bachchan got postponed yesterday.

Says the film's cinematographer Aseem Bajaj, "We were shooting on Wednesday night with Bachchan Saab inside the Juhu Cantaur which is a step away from his residence Jalsa.

At around 10.15 we got to know what was happening outside. We immediately packed up and made sure Mr Bachchan got home. We were not supposed to shoot with him on Thursday. We had shooting with Tinu Anand which got cancelled.

Today, Friday, we're back shooting. What choice do we have?"
