Mumbai: Taking a leaf out of Bollywood’s marketing strategy, and hoping to cash in on festive fervour, distributors of the highly anticipated Hollywood flick, The Wolf of Wall Street, will release the film on a Wednesday - December 25. Helmed by iconic filmmaker Martin Scorsese and starring Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s the first Hollywood film to release in India on a Wednesday. DiCaprio may visit the country's entertainment capital in the first month of the New Year, sources said. "His visit is likely to be a part of a different strategy, by way of which the "Titanic" star will meet some of India's promising entrepreneurs,"

"Leonardo sincerely believes that the character on whose life the film is based is a huge role model for the youth of today in terms of enterprising skills. The film follows the real life story of Jordan Belfort's rise to a wealthy stockbroker to his fall due to use of fraudulent methods. "The actor has learnt that India is a country booming with young firms and start-ups and hence he felt that more than an obvious promotion of the movie, a platform to interact with such a crowd of young enthusiasts would be a far better connect and a great opportunity," the sources added. "The Wolf of Wall Street", directed by Martin Scorsese, is being distributed in India by PVR Pictures and MVP Entertainment, and if one hears it right, backend preparations are already underway to make the visit special for the widely popular actor.
