‘Aladin’ gets ‘U’ certificate from Censors

“This was always meant to be a family film and our vision was in that direction from Day One. Even though the basic essence of ‘Aladin’ comes from the children’s tales that we have heard for decades,the narrative has been spiced up to gain enough attention from adults as well,” he said.

He said he was mighty excited that Big B is taking a personal interest and is going all out to promote the venture.

“Riteish Deshmukh,who plays the title role ‘Aladin’ and Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandes,as ‘Jasmine’ are working 24X7 on the promotion of the film. It is heartening to see Amitabh Bachchan travelling around the country to make sure that Aladin is seen and heard,” the director said.

Sujoy is also happy with the response to the song track ‘You May Be’,composed and sung by Vishal and Shekhar.

“This was always meant to be an anthem song for the film,just as was the case with ‘Tu Aashique Hai’ from my previous films Jhankar Beats,” he added.
