For actor Chitrangda Singh, Joker — in which
she has done a special song — has been nothing less than a birthday gift
for her, as it releases today, a day right after her birthday. But
interestingly, it’s not just Chitrangda, who’s had a birthday gift in
the form of a film, several other Bolly gals this year seem to be
celebrating their birthdays with film releases. Actor Sonakshi Sinha
admits that Rowdy Rathore that released on her birthday on June 2 has
been the best birthday gift ever. It was a double whammy for actor
Sridevi who celebrated her birthday with the unveiling of the first
trailer of her comeback film English Vinglish. And the debutante
director Gauri Shinde admits to planning the two events to coincide. “It
was Balki and my special gift to Sridevi,” the director had said. And
now in September, actor Kareena Kapoor will see her ambitious Heroine
release on her birthday as well. According to insiders, Heroine’s
director Madhur Bhandarkar admitted that initially, it was just one of
the days they were looking at, but decided to lock it only when he
learnt that it was Bebo’s birthday on September 21. “Since then many
films have been preponed and postponed, but the release of Heroine has
not been touched after it was postponed to coincide with her birthday
partially for this reason alone,” insists the insider.
Trade analysts
and industry observers now feel that what started as a chain of
coincidences might actually become a trend in the future. “We’ve had
instances in the past when birthdays have been celebrated with film
releases. It is certainly exciting for the star and fans to have a film
release on the birthday. And if it’s a hit then nothing can be more
special than this perfect gift-of-a-film. It certainly makes it a happy
birthday,” they say.
