Directed by popular choreographer/actor Prabhu Dheva WANTED was his first directorial venture in Hindi. It had chart bursting music by duo Sajid-Wajid. Filmed on the exotic locations of Greece, Bangkok, Chennai, Hyderabad, Panvel & Mumbai, the film stars Salman Khan in one of the most dynamic roles of his career. He is paired opposite Ayesha Takia for the first time. Others in the cast include Vinod Khanna, Mahesh Manjrekar, Mehak and Southern star Prakash Raj. The movie had to face many obstacles ever since it released. As producer Boney Kapoor said in one of his interviews "WANTED had to face many obstacles. First of all it was released during the EID period which is not categorically right time to rel a movie (as 40% movie watchin audiences dont go for movies).Even though the movie got the advantage of EID holiday later.It was followed by navrathri celbrations which again took people away from theatres.plus thr was a major opposition from another movie in the form of Dil Bolle Hadippa produced by Indias No1 production house yashraj films.Also the movie was unfortunatley given an A certificate by the censor board which kept the family audience away".Inspite of all these oppositions WANTED became the biggest hit of 2009 breaking box office records in almost 300 centres.WANTED has also become one of the top ten all time revenue earners.The movie is currently celebrating its 50 days run at several centres in India which is quite rare to see in todays times where movies run for 20-25 days max.
