Most of us have grown up listening to a moral folk tale describing the false hue and cry raised by a boy about a lion. And when the lion actually comes, nobody goes to his help and he is ultimately devoured by the beast.

Something similar is happening with the release of ZAMAANAT round the corner. A decade in the making, the film has come near to its release at least a dozen of times in last 2 years. Especially towards the last quarter of 2006, the film had almost made it to the theaters.

Slowly the buzz died down about the film and it seemed unlikely that the film would ever make it to the screens. But now, an announcement around the release of the film next week i.e. March 02, is raising quite a few eyebrows.

Though the promotion of the film has begun again and even trade is acknowledging the fact that the film would after all release as per the new date, the folk tale of 'lion and a boy' continues to be remembered.
