Aishwarya Rai’s hubby Abhishek Bachchan’s next flick ‘Khelen Hum Jee Jaan Se’ has come under the scissors as the producers have asked the director Ashutosh Gowariker to trim down his budget by 10 crores. Earlier the film was given the price of 45 crores for filming but now Ashutosh has to wrap up the proceedings within 35. Deepika Padukone plays the lead female protagonist in this patriotic period piece.
Besides, PVR (the production company) has also asked Ashutosh to keep the story within a running time of 150 minutes (2 and half hours). This may come as a major blow for his vision as the director is known to take his time to narrate his tale. Lagan had a running time of 224 minutes, Swades was 210 minutes and Jodhaa Akbar was 213 minutes while the dud ‘What’s Your Rashee’ was 211 minutes, all of the films well over 3 hours.
Now, this arrangement stems from the fact that the modern day audience is much more inclined to watching shorter films. Besides, a longer running time also cuts down the number of shows that can be screened on a given day. (ENSNN)
