Fox Acquires ‘Pinjar’: : Bollywood News

The promos of Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi's PINJAR, which went on air last week, have made people sit up. But the interesting development is that 20th Century Fox has acquired the all-India distribution rights of the film. "That's true," Dwivedi tells me, "Since PINJAR is produced by a corporate house [Lucky Star], it makes even more sense to deal with a corporate house for the distribution of the film." Dwivedi continues, "Dealing with ten different distributors for the Indian territory can prove a trying experience. You have to pamper every individual's ego and bow down to their demands, even if you don't subscribe to their thought process." Seems like Fox is slowly making its presence felt on the domestic scene, by joining hands with Ramgopal Varma and Bohras for the production of EK HASINA THI earlier and acquiring the distribution rights of PINJAR now. Incidentally, while EK HASINA THI has now been shifted to October 24, PINJAR is being readied for release on October 10. Two movies in one month for Fox!
