Celebrations
are
in
order.
But
the
Wanted
party
has
been
postponed
by
a
week.
“Our
director
Prabhu
Deva
got
caught
up
in
an
assignment
in
Kerala.
So
we"ve
postponed
the
party
for
next
week.
We
can"t
celebrate
without
Prabhu," says
Boney
emotionally.
Boney
has
not
been
so
excited
in
a
long
time.
“The
collections
of
Wanted
speak
for
themselves.
In
the
first
week
it
has
done
better
business
than
Kambakkht
Ishq
did
in
its
entire
run.
There
was
gun-firing
between
two
sections
of
clashing
Salman
Khan
fans
in
a
theatre
named
Rishi
in
Bulandshaher."
And
yet
Wanted
is
supposedly
a
slow-starter
in
the
multiplexes.
Isn"t
it?
Boney
retorts,
“Let
Aditya
Chopra
make
films
for
multiplexes.
I"m
happy
reaching
out
to
the
masses."
Commenting
on
why
Dil
Bole
Hadippa
didn"t
do
well
Boney
says,
“Their
intended
USP
was
the
Punjabi
culture.
Ironically
the
film
didn"t
even
open
well
in
Punjab.
How
does
one
explain
this?
Their
other
USP
was
Rani
Mukherjee
dressed
as
a
man.
But
old-time
heroines
like
Asha
Parekh
and
Saira
Banu
have
done
the
man
thing
long
ago.
And
they
were
buxom
ladies
therefore
tantalizing
in
their
cross-dressing.
With
due
respects
to
her
amazing
talent,
Rani
looked
like
a
school
boy."
Feeling
on
top
of
the
world
Boney
says,
“The
corporate
culture
that
has
seeped
into
filmmaking
is
not
working.
The
corporate
guys
know
only
about
paper-work,
nothing
about
filmmaking.
We
need
individual
producers
with
vision
to
bail
the
industry
out
of
its
present
crisis.
I"ve
made
30
films.
But
I
still
feel
I"ve
just
started
with
Wanted."
Apart
from
the
No
Entry
sequel,
Boney
will
also
finally
start
a
film
with
his
mesmeric
wife
Sridevi.
“If
I
don"t;
her
fans
will
kill
me.
I"ve
heard
a
script
I"ve
liked."
