The much-talked about forthcoming venture of Vishal Bhardwaj, ‘Haider‘ is once again in the news. The movie is the desi-adaptation of William Shakespeare’s famous ‘Hamlet’. Going by the latest report, the trailer of ‘Haider‘ will be released on July 8.

‘Haider‘ is a love story featuring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Tabu. It is being said that the flick will contain some intimate love-making scenes between Shahid and Tabu. Bhardwaj’s earlier ventures like ‘Omkara‘ and ‘Maqbool‘ were also inspired by the Shakespearean works like ‘Othello’ and ‘Macbeth’, respectively. These films earned the critical acclaim to the director. Set at the scenic locales of Jammu and Kashmir, the film will see Shahid in a different look.

After the blitzkrieg promotions on various social platforms, both the releases of today, ‘Bobby Jasoos‘ and ‘Lekar Hum Deewana Dil‘, were anticipated to take a good start at the box office. However, the morning shows of these movies could not drag the crowd to much extent, as per the report.

The last week’s release ‘Ek Villain‘ is reportedly running successfully continuously in the first week of its release and was also opened with a stellar response from the viewers. The mystery-thriller has still kept the cash registers ringing at the box office. Vidya Balan starrer ‘Bobby Jasoos‘ witnessed lukewarm response across the nation during the morning shows. On the other hand, Armaan Jain, Deeksha Seth starrer ‘Lekar Hum Deewana Dil‘ also recorded a not-so-good opening. Both the releases should observe an astounding growth during the evening and night shows on day one in order to achieve decent figures in the first weekend of their release.
