Mumbai: Reports of a tussle over show-sharing between Baby John and Pushpa 2: The Rule have been making waves. Producer Murad Khetani clarified the situation in an exclusive chat with leading entertainment portal, ensuring that advance bookings for Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan, will open nationwide on Monday, December 23.
Khetani stated, “There’s no issue. Programming takes time, and we’re addressing everything step-by-step. By tomorrow, the bookings will be available across India.”
On the debate over screen allocation, he emphasized fairness, saying, “We’re asking for a reasonable 50-50 split in single screens. For cinemas with five shows a day, we’ve requested three for Baby John. Discussions will be sorted soon.”
