Striker director feels Studio 18 sabotaged his film

Director Chandan Arora feels his film Striker (which released on February 5) has allegedly been sabotaged by its worldwide distributor, Studio 18.

Siddharth in Striker

Why?
Angry and upset, Chandan says, "They've removed every single printu2026 from EVERY corner of the country, from the theatres in the second week? I'm not claiming that Striker is the biggest blockbuster of our times. Nor am I saying my film should've been in theatres across the country but why pull it out when it is doing well?"

Yanked off

The Other Side

Studio 18's Head of Marketing Preeti Shahani says, "Chandan Arora is making a very serious allegation. Why would we as the worldwide distributors of the film try to pull out our own film if it was doing well in even one centre? Has Chandan Arora seen the collections of Striker? Can he bring forward even one exhibitor who says we've asked the film to be removed?"
