SRK’s masterstroke: PVR joins in as distributors of Dilwale

What was however interesting to know was whether Dilwale would have an edge over Bajirao Mastani in terms of screen numbers. When we quizzed Mr.Bijli on the same, the soft-spoken man opted for a diplomatic route. “I don’t think we have decided the distribution strategy. You end up wearing two hats as an exhibitor and as a distributor. As an exhibitor we will be playing movies we have only on 500 screens at that time. But these are big movies and they will probably end up playing in 3000 to 4000 screens. So it’s difficult to say. We haven’t done our calculations. Strategy gets made closer to the release date. So it is a bit too soon. But yes, both are very big films and this one (Dilwale) will also have a very big and wide release.”
