Guess Who? A-Lister Desperate to Find a New Release Date For His Much-Hyped Film

While flipping through the pages of a leading magazine, we came across this blind item about an A-lister who is looking for a new release  date for his much-hyped next film. Can you guess the actor’s identity? Here is the blind.

Now it could be because the film just won't be ready in time " like the producers insist"that it's been shifted from its intended release date, thereby averting a clash with another major film. Or it could be because the producers really don't want to risk a clash, especially after the dismal performance of their leading man's last two releases.

Either way, it's official now that the makers of this film are searching for a new date to release and all major holiday weekends are taken already. The Republic Day weekend in 2017 looks like it could be the next unclaimed holiday, but the producers feel that's too far away, especially since people have been talking about their film for months. No wonder they requested a meeting with another prominent producer and asked if he might move his two-hero actioner and give them their late-July release date instead.

Insiders say they were hopeful the producer would heed their request since one of the leading men in his film is close to the aforementioned A-lister. But no such luck. The producer politely refused, saying he'd blocked off the date months ago and that he had a slate of films to release in the months ahead and hence needed to stay on course. It's back to square one for the desperate producers.
