Pran Sahab is no more and while one can
well celebrate the fact that the man
lived his life in glory and went away on
a high with respect galore. With the kind
of status and standing that the legend
earned for him in a career that spanned over half a century, it is but
natural for
the industry to give him a fitting
farewell. In order to ensure that, the
team of Bajatey Raho decided to cancel the film's music launch which was
supposed to take place yesterday
evening.
"Pran Sahab deserves all the smiles and
the tears as he takes his final journey,"
says a source attached to the film, "It
just didn't make sense to have an event
of any other kind when we should
instead be talking about Pran Sahab and his various achievements. We would
rather cherish his work spread over the
decades and remember the times spent
with him and his movies instead of
promoting our own film. We discussed
this with other prominent people attached to the film and unanimously
decided to cancel the music launch."
The event was expected to take place in
a suburban mall of Mumbai but with
announcement of its cancellation, a quick
note was sent to all invitees and guests.
Though it would indeed be disappointing
for those who were planning to catch all the stars and other
celebrities in action,
director Shashant Shah as well as his cast
(Tusshar Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Ranvir
Shorey, Dolly Ahluwalia, Ravi Kissen and
Vishakha Singh) feel that the film, which
is all set to be released on 26th July, would be entertaining enough to
compensate for the loss.
Says producer Krishika Lulla, "Having an
event at such a time was out of question
and the entire team felt the same. Pran
Sahab was one of the legends of Indian
Cinema and it is out of respect that we
decided not to go ahead with the music launch. My team joins hands together
with the entire industry in mourning his
loss."
