‘Mausam’ postponed

 
The film which was supposed to release this Friday will now release on September 23.
‘Mausam’ has run into rough weather again and the release of the film postponed by a week to 23rd September. On Wednesday, the cast came together to announce the decision after the Air Force sought changes in a 30-second action sequence.

Shahid Kapur’s new role

The IAF asked for the changes after few officials watched the film, directed by Pankaj Kapur, at a special screening in Delhi on Wednesday. Speaking at the press conference Shahid said, "We are here to announce the changed release date of our film to Sep 23. The reason for this is that we had applied for two permisions - a NOC (no objection certificate) from the IAF (Indian Air Force) and certification from the censor board. We got U-certificate from the censor board, but IAF gave us a conditional certificate because they wanted a 30-second scene from a particular sequence to be corrected." Shahid Kapoor who plays an IAF officer in the film.

Sonam on ‘Mausam’

Since producers were aiming for a premiere in Toronto and a worldwide release, they could not make changes and deliver prints across the world by this Friday. Pankaj Kapur added that the IAF has only sought minor computer graphic changes. “Content of the film has not changed, only a few details are altered,” he said.

Rang Rasiya' release in November: Mehta

Ketan Mehta's long-pending 'Rang Rasiya' will hit the screens in Novemeber. He said that he has finally managed to find a distributor for the controversial flick based on the life of the legendary painter Raja Ravi Varma.
 
 ''Rang Rasiya' will be released in November. We are working on the dates,' Mehta told IANS. The movie is a sensuous love story about the great painter and his muse, a woman called Sugandhabai.

 

Randeep Hooda plays Ravi Varma, while Nandana Sen will be seen as the muse. Ready for release since 2008, the bilingual 'Rang Rasiya' courted controversy for the number of sensuous scenes.

 
'It's a controversial subject and it's a not an economical film. It's a historical drama, a big film with a relatively new star cast, so releasing it was a challenge and finally we have found a distributor who is taking up the challenge and is courageous enough to release the film,' he added. 

After the release of 'Rang Rasiya', Mehta will start scripting his next film. 'Immediately after the release of 'Rang Rasiya', I'll start another film. It's too early to talk about it, so I can't give the details at the moment,' he said.
