Mishra: Brave to release 'Sixteen' with 'Bhaag Milkha...'

Filmmaker Sudhir
Mishra says it's a brave decision to release
"Sixteen" with Rakeysh Omprakash
Mehra's much-talked about mega project
"Bhaag Milkha Bhaag".

Raj Purohit directed "Sixteen" is coming
out Friday and will compete for the top
place with "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" and
Anurag Kashyap's "Shorts".

"Every film has it's own place. 'Bhaag
Milkha Bhaag' is a damn good film.
Rakeysh has made a very good film and
Farhan (Akhtar) is brilliant and I really
like Milkha. Hopefully, everything will do
well," Mishra said at the screening of "Sixteen" Wednesday.

"If there are two films, they have their
respective places. People will see both the
films. But it is a remarkable thing to
release your film with '...Milkha...', a brave
decision," he added.

"Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" is a biopic on
former Olympian Milkha Singh, while
"Sixteen" talks about early loss of
innocence among children nowadays.

"Shorts" is a bouquet of five short films
made by five different directors.
