Ajay Bahl CLARIFIES Rumours Around Arjun Kapoor-Bhumi Pednekar’s ‘The Ladykiller’ Release; Calls It ‘BASELESS’

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."
