Agent Vinod still not ready

Two years in the making and Agent Vinod is still not sure about the day it'll hit the theatres. Earlier, the film was scheduled for a December 9, 2011 release. However, a delay in the shoot got it postponed to February 2012. According to sources, the revised February 17 release date is all set to go under further revision.

When contacted, director Sriram Raghavan, who was busy with a patch work shoot for the film at Filmcity revealed, "We are in the middle of post production." Our source from the postproduction house Prime Focus however had a different story to tell. "Prime Focus has still not received the complete footage of the film."

Speaking about the release date, Raghavan added, "Our producer Saif Ali Khan will return from his shoot in South Africa by tomorrow. The release date will then be discussed and an announcement will be made in a couple of days."

According to trade experts, a February release will not work for the film with leading lady Kareena's Ek Main Aur Ek Tu releasing that time. March and April generally sees very few releases owing to the various school and college exams held during that period. This is followed by IPL. This means that fans will have to wait for at least another six months to see Agent Vinod.
