MUMBAI: The curiosity to see Rakeysh Mehra’s Rang De Basanti grows by the day after the much-touted film’s release date was postponed to January 26. The Aamir Khan-starrer was postponed from January 20 to January 26, adding to the growing curiosity about the film.

No one, not even the film’s crew, has seen Rang de Basanti. “Not even my six-year-old daughter Bhairavi. But one of her friends saw it very long ago when we had completed the film. And now poor Bhairavi can’t hear the end of it,” chuckles Rakeysh.

Rakeysh was in Pune for the Pune Film Festival where Rang De Basanti was supposed to be screened. However, the screening was cancelled.

Explains Rakeysh: “It was a big blow to all of us who were there — Aamir, Soha Ali Khan, Sharman Joshi, Kunal Kapoor and Siddharth, and for the audience. We all went up on stage and said sorry to the audience. They were extremely gracious and curious about the film. They asked a thousand questions. I hope the curiosity remains alive until the film’s release.”
