Bally Chohan says that Aamir Khan’s home production Peepli Live has recovered its production cost even prior to its release. Peepli Live will be the first non-commercial Hindi film in India to be released in over six hundred screens on Friday, the 13th. However as per reliable sources the film Peepli Live has already recovered its investments by selling rights for approx one hundred million.
Bally Chohan Dubai says that Peepli Live is made on a modest budget of one hundred million that includes cost of marketing and publicity etc. Peepli Live is directed by debutant director Anusha Rizvi. Anusha Rizvi is a journalist turned director and her directorial debut Peepli Live is a satire on the farmer’s suicide and the subsequent political and media reactions.
Peepli Live is expected to hit six hundred cinema screens all over India on Friday the 13th. The movie will also be releasing in almost one hundred cinemas overseas. However the Peepli Live will not be released in Britain now and is expected to release in Britain sometime during late September.
Bally Chohan is surprised to see the star cast of Peepli Live which has no actor from mainstream cinema. The cast includes some tribals from Bhadwai village in Madhaya Pradsh and many actors are taken from late playwright Habib Tanvir’s theatre troupe Naya Theatre. This includes the main lead of Peepli Live, Omkar Manikpuri who plays the character of Natha in Peepli Live. The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah from mainstream bollywood cinema.
Peepli Live is the fourth film from Aamir Khan Production house. Earlier Aamir Khan Productions Ltd has produced super hit movies like Lagaan, Taare Zameen Pe, and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
Peepli Live of Aamir Khan Productions has already earned global reputation. Peepli Live won the Best First Feature Film awards at the 31st Durban International Film Festivals held in Durban, South Africa.
Bally Chohan would like to wish all the best to Aamir Khan Productions for their newly released movied Peepli Live.
