Salman
Khan
starrer
Kick
is
set
for
Eid
release
and
Sajid
Nadiadwala
is
racing
against
time
to
ready
his
directorial
debut
as
he
still
has
about
a
weeks'
shooting
to
complete.
Nadiadwala
is
shooting
the
film
like
a
madman.
"I've
no
time
to
sit
back
and
enjoy
any
of
the
good
things
that
are
happening
to
my
film.
We
are
shooting
and
running
to
the
monitor," said
Sajid.
The
film's
song
'Jumme
ki
raat' featuring
Salman
and
Jacqueline
Fernandez
has
gone
viral
since
its
release
on
YouTube
Friday.
So
far,
it
has
been
viewed
by
1,367,376
viewers.
Also,
the
film's
trailer
touched
an
7.8
million
hits
by
Saturday
morning.
"My
ADs
(assistant
directors)
and
my
team
tells
me
that
the
response
to
the
first
look
and
the
first
song
of
'Kick'
has
been
unprecedented.
I
can
breathe
a
little
easily
now.
I
wish
I
had
more
time
to
enjoy
what
I
am
doing.
But
we
have
set
an
Eid
deadline
for
our
film's
release.
And
we
will
fulfil
that,"
he
said.
In
fact,
Amitabh
Bachchan
tweeted
about
the
trailer
of
Kick,
comparing
it
with
the
best
action
films
of
Hollywood.
"What
more
can
I
want?
It's
like
getting
the
best
award
possible
even
before
my
film
is
released.
To
have
someone
of
Amitji's
stature
saying
something
like
this
is
a
dream
come
true.
I
feel
I've
already
got
my
biggest
reward," said
Nadiadwala.
The
year
has
been
fruitful
for
the
filmmaker
whose
three
production
ventures
have
hit
the
jackpot
at
the
box
office.
"This
year
has
been
extraordinary
for
my
production
house.
We
released
three
films
-
'Highway',
'2
States' and
'Heropanti'.
By
god's
grace,
they
all
succeeded.
Insha
Allah,
'Kick',
with
which
I've
turned
director
for
the
first
time,
will
be
a
big
success,"
said
the
filmmaker.
Expectations
from
Salman
and
Kick
are
huge,
specially
since
Salman's
last
release
Jai
Ho
under-performed
at
the
box
office.
Also,
Kick
releases
ahead
of
the
two
other
Khan
superstars'
new
projects
-
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
Happy
New
Year
and
Aamir
Khan's
PK.
But
Nadiadwala
is
unfazed.
"I
am
looking
neither
backward
nor
ahead.
I
am
not
thinking
of
what
Salman
has
done
earlier
and
what
is
the
competition
for
my
film.
I
am
only
focusing
on
getting
it
right
in
'Kick'," he
said.
