No turf wars for Sajid and Salman
Kabir, the director of BB has directed Phantom as well
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala, Salman Khan and Kabir Khan could teach Bollywood a thing or two about respecting each other’s turf. Sajid has made sure that the publicity of his espionage thriller Phantom, releasing in August, doesn’t start before the release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. There are two reasons for this — firstly, Salman, the Bajrangi star is a close friend and secondly, Kabir, the director of BB has directed Phantom as well.
Confirming the news, Sajid said, “The first trailer of Phantom will be out on July 25, that is more than a week after the release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman would’ve happily incorporated the trailer of Phantom into his potential blockbuster, but we didn’t want there to be any kind of overlap with the publicity of the two projects.”
Now that’s some tough turf call.
