Mumbai, June 15 (IANS) Shirish Kunder says that he has scrapped plans to release his next project Joker in 3D, considering the fate of recent 3D films at the box office.

JOKER will release in 2D format. It's a decision taken by business heads based on the reactions to recent 2D and 3D films of big superstars, tweeted Kunder.

Some recent 3D films in Hindi include RA.One, Don 2: The King Is Back and Dangerous Ishq.

Joker features Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha.

Akshay plays a character who returns to his hometown - a place that's so remote that it's not even on the map. But sequence of events puts the little town not just on the country's map, but makes it the focus of the entire globe.

The story also involves aliens.
