The Terror Attacks In Mumbai Might Affect The Box Office Business Of ZNMD

The latest terror strikes in Mumbai have become the focal point of every concerned citizen. This in turn has taken some attention away from this week’s releases and one of them includes Zoya Akhtar’s film ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA.
Bollywood observers cite facts that film releases that have coincided with terror strikes in Mumbai have always struggled to find audiences in the city. No matter how well the film is made, a terror strike just before the release date is the most unfortunate thing a filmmaker can experience.
Add to reliable sources, “Zoya Akhtar and her team are worried about the way things have shaped up just before the film is set to release. The terror strikes in Mumbai have taken away all the attention from films to news channels and publications. In this situation, Zoya has nothing but to call herself unlucky by chance.”
Here’s wishing good luck to Zoya and her ZNMD team as the film gets set to release amidst the shadow of the latest terror strikes. Source
