Bhansali 'thanks' Akshay for averting PadMan-Padmaavat clash
Mumbai
January ,20 2018
In the staring game between 'Padmaavat' and 'PadMan', one
movie has blinked.
Akshay and 'Padmaavat' director Sanjay Leela Bhansali
announced that 'PadMan's release date has officially been postponed to February
9.
While addressing the media, Bhansali thanked the 'Rustom' star for
moving the release date of his film ahead.
He said, "Padmaavat has been
made after facing a lot of difficulties. We [the makers] decided to release the
film on January 25, but it was clashing with Akshay Kumar's movie 'PadMan' and
we requested him to move the release date of his film ahead and he agreed. I
will always be grateful to him".
Bhansali also noted that film fraternity
will be really proud of Akshay for this gesture.
Meanwhile, Akshay said
that there is no point of clashing now, adding, "His (Bhansali) need is more for
this date than mine".
When asked why 'PadMan' moved its release date and
not 'Padmaavat', the National-award winning star replied, "They have a reason to
release the movie this time. It is really essential for the makers of
'Padmaavat' to release the movie as early as possible. We could have easily come
out on the same day, we have 4000-5000 theatres all over the nation and we could
have easily shared them. But at the moment the stake of their film is much
higher than mine. So, he asked me to do it and I did it".
Meanwhile, he
did not answer any question on the 'Padmaavat' controversy. (ANI)
