Rajkumar Santoshi's "Phata Poster Nikla Hero" and Ritesh Batra's debut
film "The Lunchbox" hit the screens Friday.
Made at Rs.40 crore, "Phata Poster Nikla
Hero" stars Shahid Kapoor and Ileana
D'Cruz. Santoshi feels the film will bring
the much-awaited success for Shahid,
whose past releases failed to create a
buzz at the box office.
"His previous films may not have worked, but he is a wonderful actor.
He is very hard working. He has done a good job in the film. I think
this will be Shahid's huge break. He will be successful with the
film," Santoshi said.
The film has been produced by Ramesh
Taurani and will mark "Barfi" heroine
Ileana's entry into Bollywood's
commercial masala zone.
Critically acclaimed, "The Lunchbox"
seems to be another good option for the
viewers.
Featuring Irrfan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui
and Nimrat Kaur, the film is being
promoted and released by Bollywood
filmmaker Karan Johar.
It has already received huge success at
international film festivals and even
bagged the Critics Week Viewers Choice
Award also known as Grand Rail d'Or at
the 66th Cannes Film Festival.
The budget of the film has not been
revealed. However, it has not been made on a high budget.
"I cannot reveal the budget of the film. All
I can say is that it is a low-medium
budget film. It is a small film," Vivek
Rangachari of DAR Motion Pictures, one of
the co-producers of the movie, told IANS.
