The Bollywood’s Mausam slated to be released all over Dubai on Thursday has been differed since the prints from India are yet to reach. A spokesperson from Gulf Film said the arrival of the prints from India had been delayed and subtitling would not be finished in time for a weekend release.
Shahid who took a year and half off from other projects to concentrate on the love-story set in the recent past, says he learnt some of the most valuable lessons in filmmaking by observing his father on the sets.
The movie, a love story between an Indian Air Force pilot (Shahid Kapoor) and a Kashmiri woman (Sonam Kapoor), was removed from schedules sent to press on Monday evening and replaced by the Hollywood film Chloe.
"I have been running after dad to make a film with me for almost three years but he always refused. Finally, he agreed and about two-years ago he gave me this file on my birthday and said `Happy Birthday, son`, this is my gift to you this year," recalls Shahid.
Shahid Kapoor assays the character of Squadron Leader Harinder `Harry` Singh in the movie, which releases this Friday, across India.
"Please don't believe rumours about release date as of now… we are on track and working round the clock to make 16th happen,” he tweeted on Monday evening. “If there is any change u will hear from me.”
