The movie released around 5 weeks back and sank without a trace. It hardly made any impact at the box office and did no good to Simran’s comeback dreams. What is worse is that Simran played an HIV patient in the movie. You might ask what is the big issue in playing an HIV +ve individual? The fact is that Simran was unaware of the nature of the role that she was supposed to be portraying.

She has reportedly claimed that the script narrated to her was entirely different and she stopped shooting for the movie the moment she realized that what was being made was very different from what she was told. The writer of the movie too has threatened to move to court against the producer of the movie. The writer has said that he had intended the movie to be message oriented to create awareness among the youth about HIV and its consequences. But the producer reportedly chopped off the scenes and dialogues that gave away the message before releasing the movie.

Now how did the movie get completed if Simran backed off from the project and how was the entire issue kept under wraps until the movie released and emphatically bombed at all release centres is a question only an insider can answer. For the moment the entire fiasco looks like a jigsaw puzzle. Facing legal suites from two sides the producer has to think on his toes. But one feels he has already got his punishment; all the money that he spent on the movie has gone down the drain. Let’s hope Simran gets a better comeback vehicle soon.
