Director Urges Maddock Films to Release 'Pooja Meri Jaan' for Late Father's Last Wish
•Director Navjot Gulati publicly appeals to Maddock Films to release 'Pooja Meri Jaan', starring Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi, which completed filming in August 2022.
•Gulati revealed his late father's last wish was to see the film released, and he passed away in 2024 still asking about it.
•The film was initially commissioned for OTT on JioCinema, but delays began after JioCinema's merger with Disney+ Hotstar, allowing producers to sell it elsewhere.
•Gulati expresses frustration over lack of accountability and communication, stating he's 'tired of calling' and co-producer Amar Kaushik hasn't responded since October 2025.
•He claims Maddock Films is holding out for a higher price, leading to an 'unending cycle' of price negotiations and delays, fearing the film may never be released.
