Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s ’12th Fail’ has completed its silver jubilee in theatres. His film ran in theaters for several weeks. The situation was such that Vidhu Vinod Chopra himself called the theater people and asked them not to play the film forcibly.
Theater owners said there was no need to remove the film as the film was still doing good business. Vidhu said that in today’s times, the completion of silver jubilee of any film is a big thing in itself. After the tremendous success of the film, the director of the film Vidhu Vinod Chopra has spoken to Divya Bhaskar.
Vidhu also gave a big update about the movie ‘Munnabhai-3’ during the interview. He said that the script is going on, the film will be made 100%.
question- ’12th Fail’ It teaches us that those who do not fight are defeated. The film’s silver jubilee is over, what do you say?
Answer- Let me tell you something interesting. At 18 weeks I called the PVR people. I told him to remove the film now, why are you forcing it? Answering this question, he said that sir, not a single show is being conducted by force. People are coming to watch the film, that’s why we are running it.
I was both happy and surprised to hear this. No film can complete its silver jubilee these days. You can also see how many weeks the movie is running on OTT.
There was a lot of discussion about this film among the common people. People from small towns were also affected, what is your opinion on this?
Answer- One day someone sent me a video. In that video, a person is on dialysis and people around him are talking about ’12th failure’. The patient and the hospital ward boy were also talking about the film. All this is very pleasing to see and hear.
‘Haar Nahi Maani’ inspires not only the common man but also the celebs. I saw this line written in an actor’s bio. What do you say about this?
Answer- The film has reached this point because of God’s grace and His grace. I never thought this movie would last this long. I am currently working on a film titled Restart From Zero. This movie will also inspire you a lot.
I think celebrities should understand their responsibility. I am a film maker, my effort should be to give some message to the society through my films. Celebrities should understand that their words are being listened to a lot. People follow them, so they should think once before saying or showing anything.
In this film, Vikrant Massey played the role of IPS Manoj Sharma
’12th Fail’ was such a big hit. Whose praise was remembered?
Answer: Not a compliment, but one thing Vikrant Massey remembered during the shoot. About 5 thousand people were present there during the shooting. I used to handle them. Meanwhile the collar of my shirt rose. Seeing me in this look, Vikrant said that today after many years Singh has come out.
Apart from this, when I was editing the film, the producer Yogesh Ishwar said how badly I had edited it. Looks like you forgot to edit. However, he was very happy after the release of the film. I laugh thinking about them now.

Heard that this film is also set to release in China?
Answer: It doesn’t seem like it, it’s true. The film will be shot in July in China. Apart from this, the film is also likely to be released in Japan and Korea.
Fans now want you to give some information about the next installment of Munnabhai.
Answer- Sure, Munnabhai-3 is still being written. I guarantee that this film will be made 100%. Through this film we will also give the right message to the people.
