The P factor predominates 2018Its Pari versus Parmanu on March 2

27 Jan 2018

Call it a bizarre coincidence, or a numerological miracle. But the letter P presides over Bollywoods fate in 2018. WhileSanjayLeela Bhansalis Padmaavat , unarguably one of the biggest films of the year, is flooding the theatres, the next big one which was supposed to clash with Padmaavat , is R Balkis Pad Man.Both the films have the Pad factor common to their titles. Now, again by an uncanny coincidence two films with identical prefixes in their titles are all set to come together. We are talking about Parmanu and Pari , both of which are ready to hit theatres on the same Friday, March 2. PrernaaArorawho is a co-producer on both the projects, is unfazed by the impending clash. Says the producer, Ideally I wouldnt have liked two of my films to come together. But what to do? The troubles faced by Padmavaat have affected all of us, and we must support a film as important as Padmaavat even if it means a discomfort level for our own professional interests. So yes, two films co-produced by my bannerKriarjare coming together on the sameFriday, March 2. Prernaasays she is particularly unfazed as her two films onMarch 2are completely different from one another. Pari and Parmanu: The Story OfPokhran are such different films. It doesnt matter who produced them as long as they get the audience they deserve. And I believe that both Pari and Parmanu individually have the heft to bring the audience in. While Pari featuresAnushkaSharmain a supernatural thriller, Parmanu has John Abraham recreating the events in Pokhranduring the nucleartests in 1998.
