Bollywood's new movie release 'Welcome 2 Karachi' will have a delayed start in the UAE.
Unlike all new movie releases, which open at 10am on Thursdays, the first show for this Hindi movie will only be at 6pm.
The movie’s UAE film distributor Al Nisr explained the delay is due to a special request from the film producer (Vashu Bhagnani).
"They have the Muhurat (an auspicious time according to the Hindu calendar) so they wanted the first screening only after 6pm," the official said.
All three movie showcasers in Dubai – VoxCinemas, NovoCinemas and Reel Cinemas – will have their first screening at 6pm on Thursday.
"As per the film's distributor, 'Welcome 2 Karachi' should only be released from 6pm onwards, not earlier," clarified a movieshowcaser.
Bhagnani's son Jackky and popular actor Arshad Warsi star in this Bollywood comedy. Popular dancing star Lauren Gottlieb will add glamour to this boy gang.
