'Jazbaa' gears up for Arabic market

14th August 2015

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's comeback is getting bigger and better with each passing day. Unveiling of first poster at Cannes, is followed by yet another surprise.

'Jazbaa' will entertain Arabic market now. Director Sanjay Gupta's action drama will be dubbed for audiences in Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and UAE as well as parts of Jordan and Southern Iraq.

Confirming the news Gupta said, "Releasing it in Arabia was Essel Vision's Business Head Akash Chawla's brainchild. Zee Arabia is the biggest satellite channel in the Arabian peninsula and to have a platform as big as that, is wonderful. It's certainly a first-of-its-kind release. The way the film is structured — it's a hard-core, fast-paced, action thriller — makes it even better. That market is very receptive to this kind of cinema. It's time to explore the non-traditional markets for films now. Everybody wants to see good movies. PK was released in China and went on to gross Rs100 crore there. Who'd have thought the Chinese would love a film considered anti-religious in India?"

Furthermore he also asserted that the songs will too be in Arabic. Currently the banner is search of ace Arabic singers, who will do justice to Sachin-Jigar's marvellous compositions composed for the movie.
