Zanjeer back on track

Finally, all the hurdles have been cleared for the grand launch of Ram Charan in Bollywood with the high-octane action flick 'Zanjeer', which is a remake of 1970s super hit that earned the Angry Young Man image for Amitabh Bachchan.

Director Apoorva Lakhia have confirmed that the publicity of the bilingual will be in full swing from July this year. "Zanjeer promos to hit screens end of this month. Full on publicity from July. Get ready for the roller coaster ride. Its gonna be kick ass," he confirmed.

Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, the original writers of 1973 Zanjeer, claimed copyrights of the story and demanded a package of Rs 6 crore from producers for using the same in the remake. Due to this issue, the release of Zanjeer got delayed. Now it appears like, both the parties have come for an amicable settlement for the smooth release of the movie.

As the makers were very particular about having a period of 45 days for the publicity, Zanjeer will most likely hits the screens by the end of September or in the first half of October. The film made on a budget of Rs 70 crore has been sold out for a record price already.
