With Covid rising, it is crystal- clear that audience in the North India are not ready to return to the movie theatres.
Rumi Jaffrey whose Chehre is ready for release this Friday says it’s time for audiences to return to movie theatres. "Bell Bottom has opened on an encouraging note. I am hopeful that my film Chehre will bring audiences back into theatres.”
Rumi feels gung-ho about Chehre because it stars Amitabh Bachchan. “In the Hindi belt Bachchan Saab is the only superstar who can work this miracle. I am reminded of his famous dialogue from Tinu Anand’s film Kaalia written by Tinu’s father Inder Raj Anand, ‘Hum jahaan khade hote hain line wohi se shuroo hoti hai.’ The queue begins from where Bachchan Saab stands. I am confident he will bring the audience back in Chehre.”
Rumi also hopes the film will work for Rhea Chakraborty. “The poor girl and her family have gone through a lot(in the Sushant Singh Rajput case). For her sake, I hope Chehre works.”
Chehre also starts Emraan HashmiHashmi, Krystle D'Souza, Rhea Chakraborty, Siddhanth Kapoor, Annu Kapoor, Dhritiman Chatterjee and Raghubir Yadav in other pivotal roles. While Amitabh Bachchan is playing a lawyer, Hashmi is a business tycoon. ALSO READ: Amitabh Bachchan And Emraan Hashmi's Chehre: Five Reasons Why It Will Bring More Audiences Back Into Theatres
