Aditya Chopra has been an avid filmgoer since his childhood and prefers
to watch all the latest releases in the cinema halls. All his Fridays
are usually reserved for watching the new films released that day
unless he has other important engagements. Our sources close to him
claim, "If there are two big releases on a single Friday, Adi still
manages to catch them both almost back to back on the same day."
Since the DDLJ maker doesn't believe much in the concept
of trial shows he never holds trial shows of his own banner films for
anyone. He doesn't see other filmmakers' films, too, in private shows
held in preview halls and prefers to watch them with the public in
cinemas. Our source saw the ever reclusive Aditya Chopra watching Love Story 2050 at a public show in a suburban cinema in Mumbai.
Instead of Friday, it was a Thursday when he was spotted in the cinema
as there were paid previews of the film in the night show on Thursday.
Like Aditya Chopra, there were many people from the film industry
watching the eagerly awaited film. It was therefor shocking to see Adi
walking out of the show ten minutes before the film actually ended.
Although Adi was not the only one to not wait for the end, his leaving
the cinema before the film was completed did surprise the industry
folk. The general masses kept muttering that the film was boring and,
therefore, the industry people assumed that Adi also shared the
sentiments of the general masses.
Interestingly, Priyanka Chopra">Priyanka Chopra, the leading lady of Love Story 2050,
had arranged a trial show of the science-fiction film at Yash Raj
Studios on the late evening of Friday, July 4, the day it was released.
But this preview show our source tells us was cancelled at the last
minute due to "unavoidable circumstances". Although these so called
unavoidable circumstances weren't revealed, it was rumoured in industry
circles that Priyanka developed cold feet when the public reports of
the film were unanimously negative right from the first show of the
film!
