Big B's Shoebite is now Johnny Mastana
Thursday, July 31, 2008: (Mumbai): Amitabh Bachchan's Shoebite was always a working title to begin with. Now as the film is more than 50 per cent complete, it has got a final title for itself. The film would now be called Johnny Mastana."The film finally has a title now. It would now be known as Johnny Mastana. The film's first set of teaser posters are already out and they have Johnny Mastana imprinted on them. In any case Shoebite was never a confirmed title so it can't be said that the film has gone though a title change." Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, the film also stars Sarika, Jimmy Sheirgill and Dia Mirza in key roles. Shooting of Johnny Mastana has been on since early this year and moving on at a decent pace. Since the film is touted to be revolving around the journey of a man across the entire nation, it involves numerous location changes. The film is directed by Shoojit Sircar of Yahaan fame. While others in the film's cast have been busy wrapping up their portions, Amitabh Bachchan would resume shooting for the film once he is back from 'The Unforgettable Tour' in the month of September. Produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Johnny Mastana which has music by Shantanu Moitra, is now confirmed for March 6, 2009 release.
