June's first week has begun on a high note for cinephiles, with multiple releases lined up. From Bandar, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, and Peddi to He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe, several films are hitting the screens. Bobby Deol's Bandar has reportedly hit a roadblock in securing adequate shows at national multiplex chains, prompting its makers to put the film's programming on hold.
Bandar makers ask national chains to put programming on hold
As per a report in Bollywood Hungama, a source told the portal, “The makers of Bandar planned for an audience-oriented release, requesting only 4 shows in 5-screen multiplexes and 3 shows in 4-screen plexes post 1 pm, which seems a fair and doable ask. But since PVR Inox and Cinepolis are distributing Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and PVR is partly distributing Peddi for Jio Studios, the national chains have allotted unfair shows to Bandar.”
