Akshay
Kumar's
much-awaited
Chandni
Chowk
To
China,
directed
by
Nikhil
Advani,
was
confirmed
for
Diwali
release.
But
the
film
won't
make
it
in
the
festive
week.
"There's
some
technical
problem
that
has
to
be
rectified," Nikhil
Advani
tells
me.
Will
the
film
make
it
in
the
Diwali
week?
"No,
it's
not
arriving
in
Diwali," producer
Mukesh
Talreja
confirms,
"The
technical
problem
is
being
worked
upon,
but
it
is
a
time
consuming
process.
The
Prime
Focus
people
are
working
on
it.
Plus,
a
lot
of
special
effects
are
involved
in
our
film.
Our
intention
is
to
make
a
genuinely
good
film
and
we
don't
want
to
hurry
up
just
because
it's
the
Diwali
week."
So
what's
the
new
release
date?
"Right
now,
we
don't
know
the
date
yet.
It
could
be
November-end
or
December,"
Talreja
reveals.
Meanwhile,
those
looking
for
a
clash
between
Shahrukh
Khan
(Billoo
Barber)
and
Akki
(
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
)
must
be
disappointed!
More
on
release
dates:
With
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
not
arriving
in
Diwali,
there's
a
strong
possibility
that
Golmaal
Returns,
which
was
scheduled
to
arrive
on
November
7,
will
be
preponed
to
Diwali
(October
24)...
Yuvraaj
might
arrive
in
November/December/January.
"We
will
take
a
call
in
a
couple
of
days,"
Sunil
Lulla
of
Eros
tells
me.
Sunil
also
adds
that
Billoo
Barber
is
definitely
arriving
in
Diwali.
