MUMBAI: Walkwater Media’s Tere Bin Laden is facing pre-release blues these days. The Pooja Shetty owned production house has brought about a change in the title for the film to release in Pakistan.
The title of the film to be shown in Pakistan would be Tere Bin as a precautionary measure. This because the situation in Pakistan is very sensitive and if any terrorists see the name Laden, they might create trouble before screening of the film, feels the distributor Ali Zafar who also plays the lead in the film.
The film’s release in the US has also been pushed ahead. It is slated to release in India along with Pakistan, Dubai, Australia and the UK on 16 July.
Avers writer-director Abhishek Sharma, “We want to see the response the film gets only after which we will release the film in the second phase.”
Tere Bin Laden is a tongue-in-cheek comedy about an ambitious Ali, a young news reporter from Pakistan who is desperate to migrate to the US in pursuit of the American dream. His repeated attempts to immigrate are shot down as his visa is always rejected.
But as things worsen, he comes across an Osama Bin Laden look alike, Ali then hatches a scheme to produce a fake Osama video and sell it to news channels as a breakthrough scoop.
