In a rare gesture of affection solidarity and reverence to Bollywood's most enduring star actor Dev Anand the cast crew and
entire unit of Tigmanshu Dhulia's Sahib Bibi Aur Gangster have decided to book an entire theatre screening Dev Anand's new
film Charge Sheet on the first day and first show for the film.
The important thing is, the Sahib Bibi Aur Gangster team is releasing its film on the same Friday, September 30, as Dev
Anand's film. But would rather watch his film than their own.
Says producer Sunil Bohra, "We're all huge dedicated fans of Dev Saab. We watch every single film of his. And so what if our
film is releasing on the same day? The entire Sahib Bibi Aur Gangster team will be at the Cinemax in Versova watching the first
show of Chargesheet. We're booking the entire theatre. We owe Dev Saab that. "
When quizzed on why the Sahib Bibi Aur Gangster team feels indebted to Dev Anand Bohra says, "In many ways our film is a
homage to Dev Saab's vision as a movie maker. Sahib Bibi Aur Gangster belongs to the action-romance genre of Dev Saab's
films like Baazi, Jaal and Gangster. "
Bohra has seen Dev Anand's 1995 crime caper Gangster any number of times.
"It doesn't matter what he makes. It doesn't matter if my film is releasing. Me and my team have to be in the theatre for the first
show of a Dev Anand film. No two ways about it. "
