“Till Wednesday, Anurag Basu was still mixing the film. Can you imagine that? Pritam (composer) probably delivered the music only a week before. What can you say? You don’t take an opinion from anybody. Today’s filmmakers are doing this with everybody. They don’t show their films before release to take opinions, and treat it as though they’re making a nuclear bomb.” “Till Wednesday, Anurag Basu was still mixing the film. Can you imagine that?

“I totally agree with Ekta (Kapoor) when she threw him out from her film. He had problems with Rakesh Roshan while working on Kites (2010). He’s such an irresponsible director that he doesn’t complete the film. It was supposed to release three times in the past two years, but it kept getting delayed.” “I totally agree with Ekta (Kapoor) when she threw him out from her film.

Rishi Kapoor again blamed Basu’s delays for the film not releasing in international markets on time. “It did not release in Singapore because you have to deliver it five days in advance. It did not release in the Gulf on Thursday because it was only delivered to them on Thursday. This is unreasonable and irresponsible.” Rishi Kapoor again blamed Basu’s delays for the film not releasing in international markets on time. “It did not release in Singapore because you have to deliver it five days in advance.

“You may be thinking you are making the Taj Mahal, but you are supposed to make it ready on time. Even Pritam delays his submissions. [It was later promoted as] a kids’ film. But, a kids’ film also has to release at the right time, like during the school vacations. At that time too, Anurag Basu wasn’t ready. There’s economics and maths involved. Everything is not just about creativity.” “You may be thinking you are making the Taj Mahal, but you are supposed to make it ready on time. Even Pritam delays his submissions.
