Mr Bachchan took to Twitter to praise the trailer of Sajid’s upcoming movie Kick.
Mumbai:
A compliment from megastar Amitabh Bachchan regarding the trailer of Kick, has turned out to be the "biggest reward" for producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
Earlier this month, Mr Bachchan had tweeted, "Did you see the trailer of KICK baaadooom!! Compares with anything that the other 'wood' brings out from their high end films!" (Also read: Amitabh Bachchan to Recite Father's Poems Again)
It left Sajid ecstatic.
"What more can I want? It's like getting the best award possible even before my film is released. To have someone of Mr Bachchan's stature saying that something like this is a dream come true. I feel I've already got my biggest reward," he said.
"This year has been extraordinary for my production house. We released three films - Highway, 2 States and Heropanti. By God's grace, they succeeded. Insha Allah, Kick, with which I've turned director for the first time, will be a big success," added Sajid.
Kick stars Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez. One of the movie's songs, Jumme Ki Raat, has mustered positive buzz.
But Sajid has no time to enjoy the success of the song and, earlier, the trailer. He is racing against time as Kick releases in a month, and he still has about a week's shooting to complete. (Also read: Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone's Piku Has a Release Date)
"I've no time to sit back and enjoy any of the good things that are happening to my film. We are shooting and running to the monitor. My assistant directors and my team tells me that the response to the first look and the first song of Kick has been unprecedented.
"I think I can breathe a little easily now. I wish I had more time to enjoy what I am doing. But we have set an Eid deadline for our film's release. And we will fulfill that," Sajid said.
Expectations from Salman and Kick are huge, especially since Salman's last release Jai Ho underperformed at the box office. Also, Kick releases ahead of the two other Khans' new projects - Shah Rukh Khan's Happy New Year and Aamir Khan's Peekay.
But Sajid is unfazed.
"I am looking neither backward nor ahead. I am not thinking of what Salman has done earlier and what is the competition for my film. I am only focusing on getting it right with Kick," he said.
