Buddy, Sony alone cannot decide upon this... If VVC wants it can sign pact with others. Do you think that Sony would have been alright with YRF leaving their fold? Obviously no specially knowing that War is a big blockbuster waiting in. These r business decisions and higher bids, relations, brand power contribute in final outcome.... Star/Disney can do far better than Sony in promoting films bcoz of sheer resources.
Sony had so many opportunities but they did not utilize it, now too look how so many bollywood films from last 10 or 15 yrs r sidelined across its chs.
