Sorry no 3D for Joker!

Shirish Kunder's Akshay Kumar starrer was supposed to be the first Indian 3D movie with a superstar, but it seems that the production house had a change of mind. The latest news is that the movie won't be going on air with 3D format, as the marketting crew found no great differences between a 3D and 2D flick, also the lack of enough 3D screens has been sighted as the cause for this decision. 

Shirish Kunder confirmed the news and added, "The initial plan was for Joker to be the first 3D film with a big star. But that USP doesn't hold anymore. Taking into account the recent responses to 2D versus 3D ventures, we decided to reach out to a wider audience." Siddharth Roy Kapoor, MD, Studios-Disney UTV, said, "For a movie featuring a superstar (read: Akshay), the draw is more the star power and the content. We have seen this in case of many films over the past year that have clicked at the BO more for the film itself rather than the incremental business from 3D screens. Given this experience, we took a collective decision with Akshay, Shirish and his wife Farah Khan to complete Joker in the regular 2D format only."

The movie stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha and Minissha Lamba and produced by Studios-Disney UTV.

It is also said that there has been another twist of tale. After his first movie 'Jaan-E-Mann', Shirish had signed up with Eros entertainment for a movie, but for his bad fate, the script took four years to complete and it is said that the movie was named Joker, and now the news is that Shirish has returned the signing amount as he has committed the movie with UTV.

The plot says that Akshay plays a character who returns to his hometown - a place that's so remote that it's not even on the map. But sequence of events puts the little town not just on the country's map, but makes it the focus of the entire globe.

The story also involves aliens.
