Guess making films is a very unpredictable business. Prehaps that is the reason why most of the denizens of Bollywood are either constantly visiting temples, mosques and dargahs to pray for their success or consulting astrologers, numerologists, palmists and their ilk. As we all know, the Yash Raj banner has been at the receiving end for a while now, with most of their recent films proving to be duds at the box office. Well, according to numerologists, the good old days of the banner will be back very soon once Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi releases.
The film, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, is being directed by Aditya Chopra. The film's makers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure the success of the movie. Consulting a numerologist was also one of them. According to the numerologist, the number of the film's title resonates with the number of Aditya and Yash Chopra's name just like their film, Dil To Pagal Hai did, hence it will be the biggest hit of the year. That must be very reassuring to the Chopras as well as to SRK, who has not had any release this year. He will be looking to keep his love affair with the box office going. Another case of astrology dictating business in Bollywood is the case of Himesh Reshammiya. Besides visiting dargahs in a burkha, the singer turned actor is also very particular about consulting his astrologer. Well, it seems that the actor's film, Karzzzz is ready for release. But its release is being delayed on the advice of the astrologer. It was supposed to be released in September but has now been pushed to October. In fact, the release could be in either in mid October or mid December. The astrologer has apparently suggested October 17 or December 26 for the film's release. Hence Reshammiya has made his request to his producer, Bhushan Kumar, who will decide on either of the two dates, once he has his promotion plans in place. Guess, with everything being so unpredictable, it is natural for our stars to turn to God and Godmen for salvation.
