Anurag Basu's Barfee starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz is taking much longer than expected and its release date has also been pushed back. Rumour has it that the makers are working on a patchwork for Barfee and also lightening up Ranbir's character.
However, Anurag Basu said, "I am not the kind of director who would like to shout standing on the rooftop. No one has seen a single scene from Barfee. They (media) are just feeding their own thoughts in their articles. Ranbir has completed his shooting. We have done our job to the best of our abilities. I am not baffled about the release date of the film. All three films ' Joker, Heroine and Barfee ' belong to UTV and they decide the release dates."
The release date of Joker has been shifted to August 31, said Anurag, adding, "Our film Barfee has been pushed to September 14. I finished the film within the duration of one year' this is just the perfect time taken [to complete a film]. Usually films take that much time. According to me there is no delay at all. We have finished our work on time and there is no delay as such. Change of release dates by the producers is no big deal."
UTV's Sujata Chanda said, "Actually, I am not the right person to quote. I have been misquoted. I was trying to just help him out with the details about the release dates which is again not my decision." Illeana, on her part, is not letting these hitches get the best of her. A calm and confident Illeana says, "I am not disappointed at all since it's a dream debut for me."
"I am essaying a challenging and de-glamourised role. After being hailed as a glam queen in Telugu, I wanted my B'town debut to be hatke," she adds. All praises for director Basu, Illeana says, "The director is a perfectionist and a multil-starrer takes time. In fact, the film is on time and we are planning to release the teaser trailers on July 2."
