‘Crackers’ release pushed to June 10 after Osama’s death

By IANS,

New Delhi : Animation film “Crackers”, which was set for a May 20 release, will now hit the screens June 10. The release date was pushed ahead after filmmaker Anil Goyal decided to bring in changes to the script following Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden’s killing earlier this month.

“We had to bring in some changes in the script. Our film is inspired from the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai. After the death of Osama bin Laden, some changes were imminent. Now we are all set to bring the film to audiences on 10th June,” Goyal said in a press statement.

“Crackers” is loosely inspired from the 26/11 terror attack. Since Laden was killed by US troops in an operation May 2 in Pakistan, Goyal decided to change the climax of the movie.

The movie, a full-length 3-D animation feature, will release under the banner of RTM Technologies Pvt Ltd. It focusses on the youth and how they can fight terrorism.

While the first half of the story has fun, comedy and romance on a college campus, the latter part deals with a terror attack on the campus and how the youth channelises all their energies to fight back.
