In less than 10 days from now, the biggest Bollywood movie so far this year will hit screens worldwide. Shah Rukh Khan returns 4 months after Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale, with a film that is touted to give him the scope to showcase his on-screen histrionics.
A week before FAN, we have a Hollywood fantasy film ‘The Jungle Book’ that is gearing up for a big release. There is quite a bit of interest to watch the film at big centres, both for the youth who will watch it for nostalgia as well as kids.
Disney UTV has gone out to promote the film in India and will give a wide release on around 1600 screens. The film will release in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu across three formats – 2D, 3D and IMAX. Even Priyanka Chopra, who has lent her voice to the film, has been promoting it on social media.
What's common between #Quantico and #TheJungleBook? Danger lurks in every corner… Releasing on April 15!https://t.co/EvbLxhS2ml

Disney India’s vice president Amrita Pandey was confident that the film would do well in India.
“For most of us, Jungle Book is a part of our childhood. While the kids today might not have seen it, there is an entire generation that grew up watching Mowgli as a cartoon. In India, the film has a great potential and we see a wider net to cast in terms of audiences. This film will appeal to people from four years and 80 years” she said.
“The title song from the DD show is iconic and we used it not only in the Hindi version of the film, but also as a marketing tool. The song was re-created and released a while ago, and it has got very good response. For the Hindi (dubbed) version of the film, we have managed to rope in some of the most recognised voices — Priyanka Chopra (Ka), Om Puri (Bagheera), Irrfan Khan (Baloo), and Shefali Shah (as Raksha)” she added.
Excited for both films Fan n The Jungle Book
Indicine : Are you saying this after what happened last Christmas ?? Jungle Book have a large fan following and will be a hit irrespective of clash with any star’s movies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@xzone : If losing with 40 crs difference with a movie who got comparatively less number of screens (opening and releasing week) in the domestic (most important) market is not losing then what ? Giving a 40 lakh Life Time collections (YLJK) ?? Lol
FLOP, FLOPPY, FLOP FAN. The only Fan that will be a success is the one that people use to keep themselves cool. This is for the bimbo isis resideny Xzone,
TWO good movies, FAN and JUNGLE BOOK. both will do well in both INDIA and WORLDWIDE .
@Hrithik 3:17 pm : It’s really funny to watch you bhabhijan fans talking about clashes and results of those clashes. Lol, at least, SRK overtook a critically acclaimed movie (worldwide figures), but your bhabhijan has a long history of losing the clashes , even to new comers. So please….!!!
@Bajan aka Joe-The Comedian aka Biggest coward of Indicine 1:31 am : Ohh bimbo, you are back ..?
But where did you leave your alias “Joe the comedian” …?
