Mumbai: Vivek Oberoi`s upcoming film `Prince of Thieves` is re-titled to `Prince it`s Showtime`. The film`s title was oscillating between Prince of Thieves and simply Prince.
The actor is trying to boost his career with his next film with Ram Gopal Varma, `Rakta Charitra`. But, this film `Prince it`s Showtime` would probably arrive first, later this year.
There is a relevance to the `show-time` part, something that director Kookie Gulati reveals as he speaks about the title change. Kookie is the debutant film maker, who has directed quite a few popular music videos in the past.
The director said, "Actually, it`s not a change in title per se because there was no title fixed in the first place. Prince of Thieves was just a working title and we were always contemplating getting something different as we come closer to the release."
He also confirmed that `Prince it`s Showtime` is the final title. He added, "Yeah, Prince its Showtime is final and soon you would see the title being more prominent as we officially begin the campaign. The phrase `It`s Showtime` is quite relevant to the film as well since this is the line that Prince (Vivek Oberoi) uses throughout the film. It fits in perfectly well with the character and this is why we thought of adding it to the film`s title as well in order to set expectations with the audiences."
Vivek said, "Working on `Prince it`s Showtime` has been a fantastic experience. It`s a story that could be every man`s fantasy and every man`s nightmare. It is a thrilling and fascinating tale full of twists."
The film also stars Sanjay Kapoor in the role of a cop along with Rajesh Khattar and Dalip Tahil, Prince has music by Sachin Gupta with action by Allan Amin.
Kumar Taurani`s Tips Music Films is producing the film, which is an action thriller that sees Vivek Oberoi in a new avatar. From his long-haired look in his last release `Mission Istanbul`, Vivek has moved on to a neat, close cropped look for `Prince it`s Showtime`. The film has been extensively shot in South Africa, Bangkok and of course, various locations in India.
The female leads in the film will be played by Nandana Sen along with debutant British actress Aruna Shields. `Prince its Showtime` revolves around the search for a rare gold coin. Apparently, Vivek has performed some dare devil stunts in the film, one of which required him to jump off a plane.
Vivek further added, "The film boasts of some great thrills, great action and great fun! I guess that should be enough for me to comment as of now as it`s scheduled for release on December 11, 2009."
