' Joker ' is a film produced by Studios-Disney UTV. It stars Akshay Kumar , Sonakshi Sinha and Minissha Lamba in the lead roles and is directed by Farah Khan 's hubby Shirish Kunder . Initially, it was announced by the ' Joker ' team that the movie would be shot in 3D. But now reports are coming that there has been a change in plan.

Earlier this week, it was decided by the ' Joker ' team that now the movie would be in the regular 2D format.

The news has been confirmed by the director Shirish Kunder . He said, "The initial plan was for Joker to be the first 3D film with a big star. But that USP doesn't hold anymore. Taking into account the recent responses to 2D versus 3D ventures, we decided to reach out to a wider audience."

"For a movie featuring a superstar (Akshay), the draw is more the star power and the content. We have seen this in case of many films over the past year that have clicked at the BO more for the film itself rather than the incremental business from 3D screens. Given this experience, we took a collective decision with Akshay, Shirish and his wife Farah Khan to complete Joker in the regular 2D format only", said Siddharth Roy Kapur , the MD of the Studios-Disney UTV.
