Ajay
Devgn
in
Naam.
After
the
success
of
Bhool
Bhulaiya
3,
Director
Anees
Bazmee’s
equity
has
upped
by
leaps
and
bounds.
Seen
in
that
context,
the
sudden
release
of
an
old
shelved
film
called
Naam
is
not
very
surprising.
But
excavating
an
old
forgotten
project
for
a
release
20
years
after
it
was
made
is
doing
a
disservice
to
all
concerned.
Still,
Bazmee
chooses
to
not
see
the
release
of
Naam
in
a
negative
light.
“What
can
I
do
if
the
producers
have
decided
to
release
an
old
project
I
had
forgotten?”
Bazmee
asks
Subhash
K
Jha.
“I
made
this
film
in
2004
with
Ajay
Devgn,
Bhoomika
Chawla
and
Sameera
Reddy.
This
is
2024
and
everyone
has
moved
on.
So
it’s
not
just
a
disservice
to
me
but
to
all
concerned.”
Has
Anees
spoken
to
Ajay
about
it?
“No,
I
don’t
see
the
need.
Ajay
too
must
have
forgotten
about
it
until
the
producers
brought
it
out
of
the
cans.
It’s
okay.
If
it
helps
them
to
make
even
a
bit
of
money,
I
am
okay
with
it.
But
I
hope
they
are
not
trying
to
pass
it
off
as
a
new
product.
Aaj
ka
audience
bahot
hoshiyar
hai.
It
cannot
be
taken
for
granted.”
Naam
releases
alongside
the
Abhishek
Bachchan
starrer,
I
Want
To
Talk,
on
November
22.
