The
Ladykiller,
starring
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Arjun
Kapoor,
was
released
in
theaters
on
November
3.
Ajay
Bahl,
the
director
of
this
crime
thriller,
was
said
to
be
an
incomplete
film.
Now,
he
has
addressed
and
clarified
the
rumors
surrounding
the
film.
Recently,
there
has
been
speculation
regarding
the
completion
status
of
the
much-anticipated
released
film,
"Ladykiller." The
director
of
the
film,
Ajay
Bahl
cleared
the
air
around
it
saying
that
the
film
released
is
a
complete
film
and
not
an
incomplete
one
as
the
rumours
suggest,
however
a
sarcastic
remark
made
in
passing
has
been
picked
up
in
a
wrong
connotation
to
which
he
clarifies
He
says,
"It's
a
humorous
take
on
a
baseless
rumour
circulating
about
the
film's
completion
status.
I
understand
that
humour
and
sarcasm
can
sometimes
be
misinterpreted.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
"Ladykiller" is
a
complete
film
which
has
been
released
for
the
audiences
and
I
am
immensely
proud
of
this
project.
I
am
grateful
for
the
hard
work
and
dedication
of
everyone
involved
in
bringing
this
film
to
fruition."
"The
entire
team
of
"Ladykiller," have
poured
their
hearts
and
souls
into
this
project,
ensuring
its
completion
and
subsequent
release,"
he
concluded.
For
the
uninitiated,
earlier,
a
statement
in
Tried&Refused
Productions
podcast
said
that
Ajay
Bahl
had
confirmed
that
the
movie
was
released
in
the
theaters
'incomplete.'
The
statement
read,
"To
confirm,
yes
the
movie
is
incomplete.
30
pages
of
the
117
page
screenplay
were
never
shot.
A
huge
number
of
connecting
scenes,
Arjun
and
Bhumi's
entire
romance,
Bhumi's
dependence
on
alcohol,
Ajrun's
sense
of
being
trapped
and
losing
everything
and
having
to
run
from
town,
his
sense
of
total
despair,
all
these
psychological
beats
are
missing.
So
yes,
it's
no
surprise
that
the
film
feels
choppy
and
disjointed
and
one
finds
it
hard
to
connect
with
the
characters."
The
statement
further
stated
that,
"As
a
director,
it
was
extremely
painful
to
shoot
The
Ladykiller,
but
absolutely
not
because
of
the
actors.
Arjun
and
Bhumi
were
sheer
joy
to
work
with.
They
gave
their
heart
and
soul
to
the
film.
The
problem
lied
elsewhere
but
that
is
another
story."
