Mumbai, January 07: Shahid Kapoor’s next is an hour and 58 mins long. He wants two minutes added to film so it is numerologically perfect at 2 hours
When it comes to their movies, stars leave no stone unturned to seek divine intervention. Superstitions play a big role too. And Shahid Kapoor isn’t averse to a little divine intervention or assistance.
The running time of his next movie Chance Pe Dance is one hour, 58 minutes. The actor feels that it should be a full two hours.
All in the numbers
The actor has been coaxing buddy director Ken Ghosh to increase the film’s length by two minutes to make it numerologically correct.
Says a source, “When Shahid realised the movie was two minutes short of two hours, he told Ken to increase the time frame. He suggested that either increase the roll of the titles or include another scene to make it a full 120 minutes.” The director tried his best but couldn’t manage to do so.
Says Ken, “The length of the film is dictated purely by the story, there has been no pressure from anybody to chop or change, in fact Shahid has not even seen the final cut.”
