It
is
a
known
fact
now
that
the
moment
promos
of
Dabangg
hit
the
air,
the
makers
of
We
Are
Family
did
not
hesitate
to
pre-pone
the
film"s
release.
Owing
to
the
fact
that
Salman
Khan"s
action
entertainer
has
built
some
instant
hype
after
the
release
of
its
two
minutes
promo,
it
was
better
that
the
family
drama
comedy
featuring
Kajol,
Kareena
Kapoor,
and
Arjun
Rampal
releases
on
a
different
date
instead
of
getting
in
a
clash
with
Dabangg.
However,
one
wonders
if
the
change
in
plans
for
We
Are
Family
was
an
overnight
decision
owing
to
the
fact
that
long
ago
September
10
was
the
decided
date
for
the
release
of
Abhinav
Kashyap
directed
Dabangg.
“I
remember
that
Karan
and
I
did
have
a
conversation
about
the
two
films
clashing
with
each
other.
It
was
quite
some
time
back
when
we
had
met
at
a
friend"s
place.
I
always
believed
that
Eid
was
just
the
right
time
to
bring
on
Dabangg",
says
Arbaaz
Khan,
who
is
making
his
debut
as
a
producer
with
the
Salman
Khan
starrer.
Karan
Johar
at
that
time
was
of
the
opinion
that
the
two
films
could
come
together.
“That"s
right",
confirms
Arbaaz.
“He
felt
that
since
the
two
films
were
totally
different
from
each
other,
it
would
be
fine
even
if
they
released
on
the
same
day.
I
also
felt
that
it
was
fair
enough
because
Eid
is
a
good
time
and
not
just
two
but
even
three
films
can
do
well
if
they
are
made
well
enough."
However,
it
appears
that
there
were
subsequent
deliberations
within
Karan"s
team
that
led
to
announcement
of
a
new
release
date,
September
3
for
We
Are
Family
which
is
directed
by
debutant
Siddharth
P.
Malhotra.
This
time
around,
there
were
no
further
conversations
between
Arbaaz
and
Karan
as
the
latter
took
the
call
himself.
“I
don't
really
know
what
transpired
there
internally
as
no
one
spoke
to
me.
I
got
to
know
only
later
that
they
had
decided
to
pre-pone
the
film",
says
Arbaaz,
“It"s
fine.
They
must
have
given
this
some
good
thought."
After
all
the
efforts
its
seems
that
there
is
still
a
mini
clash
which
is
waiting
to
happen.
Rajnikanth
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
starrer
Endhiran,
which
arrives
in
both
Tamil
and
Hindi,
will
be
releasing
on
September
10
as
well.
It
would
be
interesting
to
see
whether
Eid
is
partial
to
one
of
the
two
biggies
or
accommodates
both
the
films
whole
heartedly.
