In
the
absence
of
commercial
flights
to
European
countries
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
has
no
option
but
to
hire
private
jets
to
take
the
prints
of
his
on-release
summer
comedy
Housefull
to
England
and
other
European
countries.
The
volcanic
ashes
from
Iceland
has
floated
all
the
way
to
Bollywood
and
nearly
crashed
into
one
the
most
mammoth
summer
release.
Sajid
Khan"s
multi-starrer
Housefull
which
releases
next
Friday
(April
30)
is
in
delivery
doldrums.
As
per
release
rules
the
delivery
overseas
has
to
be
made
a
week
in
advance
of
the
release
day.
Since
most
of
the
air
traffic
to
Europe
was
still
shut
on
Tuesday
(with
no
sign
of
a
partial
let
alone
full
recovery
of
flights
for
some
days
to
come)
Sajid
Nadiadwala
is
in
a
state
of
panic.“This
is
most
unforeseen," he
said
on
Tuesday,
stressed
and
sleepless
running
helter-skelter
looking
for
non-airborne
means
of
transporting
prints
of
Housefull
to
Europe.
Said
the
harrowed
producer,
“In
all
my
years
as
a
producer
I"ve
never
encountered
such
a
crisis.
There"re
about
a
100
prints
to
be
taken
into
Europe.
Air
traffic
has
come
to
a
standstill.
I"m
hiring
private
jets
to
carry
the
prints
to
the
nearest
city
with
an
open
air
base.
From
there
the
prints
will
be
taken
to
various
European
cities
by
train
or
road.
I"m
so
desperate
I"m
ready
to
employ
any
means
of
transportation…planes,
trains,
automobiles,
whatever
is
available."
The
added
expenditure
incurred
by
the
paralysis
of
air
traffic
in
Europe
is
the
least
of
Nadiadwala"s
worries.
“It
doesn"t
really
matter
how
much
money
it
would
cost.
The
important
thing
is
to
get
the
prints
to
the
European
centers
on
time
or
else
the
entire
overseas
release
would
be
affected."
The
harassed
producer
won"t
rest
easy
until
a
solution
to
the
transportation
deadlock
is
found.
“It"s
been
one
crisis
after
another
for
me.
First
the
underworld
threats
then
this
volcanic
eruption." So
stressed
is
Sajid
that
he
hasn"t
been
able
to
enjoy
the
completion
of
his
next
project
Anjaana
Anjaani.
Says
Sajid,
“Ranbir
Kapoor
had
a
wrap-up
party
for
Anjaana
Anjaani.
But
I
wasn"t
able
to
attend
because
of
these
two
back-to-back
crises
at
my
workplace.
Now
I"ll
celebrate
only
when
Housefull
is
released
properly
everywhere."
