Cinema VinesAfter a four‑year hiatus, the thriller "Pooja Meri Jaan," featuring Huma Qureshi and Mrunal Thakur, is set to finally reach audiences. The film, directed by Navjot Gulati and financed by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, had been stalled due to failed negotiations with streaming platforms that demanded high licensing fees. Gulati has said he holds no grudges and is focused on the film’s eventual release rather than the earlier setbacks.
Gulati describes the story as a courtroom drama that tackles the sensitive issue of abetment to suicide—a theme he believes remains relevant today. He compared the film’s endurance to classics like "Rang De Basanti," suggesting that a good film can stand the test of time. The director also noted that he has stayed in touch with the lead actors, who have been supportive throughout the delay.
Despite the hurdles, the project is now moving forward. The film was announced as part of a streaming platform’s upcoming slate, and Gulati said the release date is approaching, though an exact date has not yet been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Gulati is already working on his next project, "Badtameez Gill," starring Vaani Kapoor and Aparshakti Khurana. He announced that this film will have a theatrical release and is currently in post‑production, with a target launch by the end of the year.
