Actor
Sahil
Khattar
who
essayed
the
role
of
Syed
Kirmani
in
Kabir
Khan's
latest
directorial
83,
feels
that
the
film
should
not
have
released
during
Christmas,
but
a
little
before
the
festive
period.
While
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
when
Sahil
was
asked
about
83
average
box
office
collection
despite
receiving
rave
reviews
from
every
corner
of
the
nation,
he
pinned
the
blame
of
83's
business
on
its
release
date.
He
told
Times
Of
India,
"I
feel
that
the
film
should
have
been
released
a
little
before
Christmas.
Because
we
wanted
a
holiday
release,
it
was
released
on
Christmas.
Now,
this
is
a
comment
on
business
and
I
don't
know
how
well
it
will
go
down
with
everybody
or
people
involved
in
the
film
business.
Reliance
had
two
films
-
'Sooryavanshi'
and
'83.
I
think
both
should
have
got
a
run
of
one
month
each."
"We
should
not
have
gone
for
the
holiday
release,
which
is
Christmas
because
it
didn't
feel
like
'der
aaye
durust
aaye'.
We
should
have
released
it
as
early
as
possible.
We
could
have
gotten
our
due
rather
than
Omicron
spoiling
our
party.
Now
that
it
has
been
released,
I
think
we
should
let
it
be,"
added
Khattar.
He
went
on
to
add
that
a
lot
of
films
have
run
for
fifty
weeks,
and
there
was
a
time
when
there
were
golden
and
silver
jubilees.
He
further
said
that
he
knows
for
a
fact
that
83
is
a
cult
film,
and
it
will
surely
complete
silver
or
golden
jubilee,
because
it
has
slick
master
storytelling.
