MUMBAI:
UTV Motion Pictures has announced the release dates
of three of its big-ticket films.
While
Anurag Basu-directed film Barfi! will release on 31
August, the Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha-starrer Joker
will release on 14 September and the Madhur Bhandarkar-helmed
Kareena Kapoor-starrer Heroine on 21 September.
Barfi!,
which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileyana,
is the story of Barfi-the chalu Chaplin who the girls
love but the cops hate. He can't speak but is always
talked about. His naughty antics will make one scream
but he never listens, because he can't.
On the other hand, the country's first ever extra-terrestrial
drama, Shirish Kunder-directed film Joker is the story
of Agastya (Akshay Kumar), a researcher probing the
existence of aliens in the universe who returns to
his small little native village. The out-of-luck Agastya
takes it upon himself to put his crazy village on
the global map and continues with his exploration
on aliens from there.
While
his plan gets the village attention from across the
world, it also comes with a great deal of risk. Will
aliens save the day for Aghastya or will his plans
fall like a pack of cards?
The
film has been produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Three's
Company and Kumar's Hari Om Productions.
Lastly,
Heroine is based on the life and times of a superstar
heroine from the dream factory we call 'Bollywood'.
The film is an entertaining, daring, emotional, shocking,
glamorous, scandalous behind the scenes account of
the reality behind the world of glitz and glamour
that our film stars inhabit.
For
a country obsessed with films and film stars, Heroine
will take audiences on a voyeuristic journey to see
what really goes on behind the closed doors of make-up
rooms and vanity vans. It gives them a chance to go
beyond the gorgeous smiles and politically correct
quotes, to see what really happens in the lives of
India's sweethearts.
The
film has been produced by UTV Motion Pictures and
Madhur Bhandarkar.
