@Cyphoidbomb: Sir, can credits be sourced from this poster? I did not find any source which explicitly mentions the names recently added here except the poster. Since it is most likely not the "poster for the film's original theatrical release" as per Template:Infobox film, I have reverted it. Please advise - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:24, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: Should be fine to use that poster, in my opinion, although I'd be less inclined to include people credited as co-producers. That can mean different things. It's not uncommon for people to be given the vanity title of co-producer even when they've had nothing to do with the film. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:57, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Sir, I totally agree that "co-producers" shouldn't be mentioned. What's really confusing is that none of the sources in this article mention "Sandeep Layzell" and "Bake my Cake Films" apart from twitter handles in this link. In google also, apart from this, I could only get similar twitter handles. Not only that I wasn't able to get much reliable hits in google when I searched these two words independently without mentioning "Arjun Patiala". I wonder if we should wait for the theatrical release. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:01, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Sir, yesterday (12 March 2019) an IP removed the content and sources which mentioned that the story is about the height differences between the lead characters and clearly mentions The actress clarified that this isn't true. in the edit summary which I reverted. Today (13 March 2019) another IP from the same location (Ludhiana, Punjab) comes and reverts my edit and puts this source which is dated coincidently 13 March 2019. I found a lot of other reliable sources which mentions the story is indeed about the differences in height. I have kept both the things. Is it OK? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:11, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: Since the film hasn't been released and we really know nothing about the plot, I don't know that the plot synopsis currently in there is helpful. You could cut it and it wouldn't make any difference, because we're saying "We thought it was X, but Sanon says it's not X." That leaves us to wonder what it really is. If you do choose to keep it, I'd probably clarify the statement to be more like "Film trades initially speculated that the film was about X, but Sanon said it was not about X." But again, I think you could cut the whole thing. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:40, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb:, Oh I forgot to ask you if I can remove the Plot Section since the film hasn't been released. But should we keep it in the lede framing it succinctly like what you have said "Film trades initially speculated that the film was about X, but Sanon said it was not about X." ? And It seems I got a better source. It also has her interview. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:47, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: I personally would remove both. It's not really a plot synopsis since it doesn't tell us what the actual story is, and it's vague and self-contradictory. A proper plot synopsis would sound more like "Superman faces three criminals who escape from Krypton's Phantom Zone." Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:56, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: OK I'll remove both. I'll keep only this line The film is scheduled to release on 3 May 2019 from the second para of the lede. I'll also remove the new BollyHungama reference since it is there only to negate the "height" rumour. Will it be OK? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:11, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
