Lock
The
Dates!
The
Rajinikanth
starrer
was
earlier
scheduled
to
release
on
April
27
was
postponed
due
to
Tamil
film
industrystrike
and
will
be
now
releasing
on
Eid
this
year
i.e.,
June
15
and
clashing
with
Salman
Khan
starrer
Race
3.
Unlike
Aamir,
Salman
Isn't
Afraid
Of
Rajinikanth
Recently,
during
a
media
interaction
on
his
birthday,
Aamir
had
said
that
he
doesn't
want
his
film,
Thugs
Of
Hindostan
to
clash
with
Rajinikanth
starrer
2.0,
the
film
which
also
casts
Akshay
Kumar
as
the
antagonist.
Here's
What
Aamir
Had
Said..
"I
hope
ki
woh
(Rajinikanth
&
Akshay
Kumar)
humare
saath
naa
aaye
warna
humei
problem
ho
jayegi.
Rajinikanth
bahot
bade
star
hain
aur
mein
unki
izzat
karta
hu."
Even
Earlier,
Aamir
Was
Sceptical
About
Clashing
With
Rajinikanth
A
leading
daily
had
quoted
Aamir
as
saying,
"See,
it
comes
back
to
the
same
problem
that
we
have
only
5,000
screens
in
India.
Any
producer
of
a
big
film
would
want
the
maximum
screens
for
it.
So,
a
clash
definitely
affects
the
films.
As
far
as
possible,
that
should
be
avoided."
Aamir
Says
He's
Always
Flexible
"But
sometimes,
it
isn't
possible
to
avoid.
Ab
main
Diwali
pe
aa
raha
hoon.
Nahi
aa
paata
toh
kab
aaoon?
There
are
already
films
lined
up
for
Christmas.
Meri
bhi
majboori
hai.
Given
a
choice,
no
one
would
want
to
clash.
That
said,
I
am
very
flexible,
when
it
concerns.
There's
no
ego
that
I
just
have
to
release
on
a
certain
date.
Agar
mein
hatt
sakta
hoon,
toh
hatt
jaaoonga."
Clash
Affects
Both
Films
Equally
"Because
a
clash
affects
both
films
equally.
Ultimately,
we
are
all
friends
in
the
industry.
So
if
we
can
help
each
other,
we
do.
When
Secret
Superstar
released,
we
clashed
with
Rohit
Shetty's
Golmaal
Again.
"When
the
first-day
collections
came,
I
realised
they
were
doing
much
better
than
us.
I
called
Rohit
the
same
evening
and
offered
him
screens
that
I'm
not
using.
Mujhe
screens
rakh
ke
achaar
thoda
banana
hai."
