Lots of speculation has been done about the release of Shahid-Sonam starrer film ‘Mausam’. Shahid Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and director Pankaj Kapoor with his wife held a press conference and clear the air about ‘Mausam’.
Shahid told to reporters, “We are here to announce the changed release date of our film from Sep 16 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,”
He added, “They wanted a tiny little detail changed. Because the scene required computer graphics, even a small change requires a lot of time. That is why it took us so many days to make the correction. We got the NOC last (Tuesday) night.”
‘Mausam’ has been directed by Sahid Kapoor’s father Pankaj Kapoor. Shahid has played the role of an Indian Air Force Pilot. He will romance Sonam Kapoor who will be seen as Kashmiri girl.
Shahid further said, “Today we are ready for India release on Sep 16, but we wanted the overseas release to fall on the same date. However, when we send the prints overseas, there is a particular time before which we have to send the prints. Because we got the NOC last night, we couldn’t send the overseas prints. We want the release to happen globally on the same day, so we have changed the release date to Sep 23. We don’t want a fragmented release….”
