'Black Friday' to hit big screens


'Black Friday' to hit big screens
The much-awaited Bollywood movie 'Black Friday' based on 1993 Mumbai serial blasts is all set to hit the big screen across the country today after controversies and court cases delayed it by two years.

The 13-year-old trial which ended last September paved the way for the screening of Director Anurag Kashyap's 'Black Friday', that was premiered in New Delhi on Wednesday evening.

Talking about the controversies that delayed the release of the film, Kashyap said "Controversy has been created by people who sometimes saw this as a platform to hog limelight. I think the accused had a point that it could prejudice the judgement. I thought I was also correct."

Produced by Arindam Mitra, the film features Kay Kay Menon, Pavan Melhotra and Aditya Srivastava playing Inspector Rakesh Maria, prime accused Tiger Menon and police informer 'Badshah Khan' respectively.

The movie is based on a book of S Hussein Zaidi titled 'Black Friday' and uses real names and places.
