Ujada Chaman producer slams Bala makers for release clash

Release clash is becoming a norm in the Hindi film industry which produces most films in a year. In such a scenario, two filmmakers eying for the same release date is inescapable. But, in the case of Bala and Ujada Chaman, things are running on a different level since both films share release date, and plot idea too.

Mumbai: The makers of Ayushamann Khurrana's Bala on Thursday announced that the film is preponed from November 15 to November 7. However, this change in the release date did not go down well with the producers of the upcoming film Ujda Chaman.

Both films are comedies with a similar theme. They narrate the plight of a young man who suffers from premature balding. While Ayushmann plays the protagonist in Bala, Sunny Singh is the hero of Ujda Chaman.

The trailer of Ujda Chaman was unveiled a few days ago. The trailer shows the story of a balding young man, being essayed by Sunny in the film, facing woe in personal and professional life because he is losing hair. The film is scheduled to release on November 8.

Strangely, Ayushmann's Bala also has the same plot idea.

Now, with both films slated to release on the same date, Ujda Chaman producer Kumar Mangat has expressed disappointment.

In an interview to Spotboye, Mangat said: "It is extremely unethical and wrong on the part of Maddock Films (Bala producer) to clash with our film. We always were coming on November 8. But what can we do now. Let them come. I am sure my film is good."
