Friday no show,Saturday may be

“We have booked only 100 tickets as against the plan of 250 due to problems the movie faced. The funds were to be used for helping children good at sports but who do not have access to good training owing to fund shortage. We also had a second plan to invest the money to adopt a tribal school. But with just 100 seats,we are doubtful of the amount we will collect,” said YI spokesperson Monika Trivedi.

When contacted,general manager of Inox,Bipin Jha,said the mutiplex would go with the decision of others multiplexes in the city.

Rasika Wakalkar of YI said,“In spite of the movie being screened in Mumbai,people are apprehensive. We are getting calls from invitees about Saturday’s show. There is not much we can do. It all depends on the multiplex managements.” Unless the decision comes,nothing certain could be said,said another manager at Inox. “In the morning,we will inform YI in case the event is cancelled,” he said.

Trivedi said she had been receiving calls from guests apprehensive of security even if the film is screened. “In case screening happens,it will be under police protection. However,it is not easy to convince people. We are also planning to serve snacks and drinks to make it more like an event,” she said.
