Do
not
get
confused
by
our
headlines,
because
it
is
a
well
known
fact
that
Salman
Khan's
family
celebrates
all
the
festivals
with
equal
gusto
and
fervour,
and
we
are
not
here
to
repeat
that.
As
per
reliable
trade
sources,
producer
Boney
Kapoor
has
decided
to
release
his
Pokkiri
remake
on
October
2nd.
Boney
took
the
decision
to
release
the
Salman
Khan-Ayesha
Takia
starrer,
Wanted
Dead
And
Alive,
on
the
mentioned
date
because
the
film
would
be
ready
by
then
and
its
'Eid-Ul-Fitr'
on
2nd
October.
What
may
have
also
weighed
in
favour
of
a
Gandhi
Jayanti
release
is
that
the
film
will
see
an
extended
holiday,
as
the
festival
of
the
triumph
of
good
over
evil,
'Dussehra'
follows
a
week
after
'Eid'/Gandhi
Jayanti.
And
thus
the
film
will
get
the
benefit
of
extended
holidays.
The
same
month
(October
24)
will
see
the
release
of
Subhash
Ghai's
much
awaited
Anil
Kapoor,
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif
starrer,
Yuvraaj.
Why
the
particular
week?
Well,
it's
simple,
the
week
will
conclude
with
the
bountiful
period,
the
festival
of
lights,
'Diwali',
which
falls
on
the
28th
and
29th
of
October.
Look
forward
to
festive
treat
from
Salman
Khan
this
year!
