Gangs Of Wasseypur 2 Will Release On Aug 8
The mystery surrounding the release of the second part of gritty thriller “Gangs Of Wasseypur” has been revealed — the movie will hit screens Aug 8, which happens to be a Wednesday.
“For all those asking and also those not asking but are eager to know will release on 8th August,” tweeted Kashyap.
“Sunn toh liya hai aapne ab apni aankhon se dekh bhi lo (You’ve heard it, now see it too),” he added with a mini-poster that reads “‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’ releasing 8th August, 2012″.
It’s official. The second part of Anurag Kashyap’s highly anticipated revenge drama GANGS OF WASSEYPUR will release on August 8 this year. The update was given by Taran Adarsh on Twitter. “Update: Viacom18 to release on Wednesday, 8 August. Innovative strategy by Vikram Malhotra “, is what he wrote. An hour later, the official twitter page of the film posted a tweet, “For all those asking and also those not asking but are eager to know will release on 8th August!”, and this was retweeted by director Anurag Kashyap.
The makers plan to formally announce the release date tonight at the success party of GANGS OF WASSEYPUR. The theatrical trailer of GANGS OF WASSEYPUR 2 too would be unveiled.
This piece of news shall surely bring cheer to fans of the film since the second part will hit screens in less than two months after the release of the first part. However, commercially, the film might have a tough time. The holy month of Ramzan will be in full-swing during August 8. Moreover, the monstrous EK THA TIGER will be arriving a week later (August 15) which might prove detrimental to the film’s box office collections.
