Ajay
Devgn,
whose
film
Son
Of
Sardar
is
releasing
with
Shahrukh
Khan's
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan
on
13th
November,
has
sent
a
legal
notice
to
Yash
Raj
Films.
Ajay
Devgn
has
claimed
that
YRF
has
used
their
influential
position
in
the
showbiz
market
to
prevent
other
films
to
release
on
November
13
(Diwali).
According
to
a
leading
daily,
"ADF
was
forced
to
take
legal
recourse
because
of
monopolistic
practices
of
YRF.
Before
the
release
of
Ek
Tha
Tiger,
in
August
2012,
YRF
had
reportedly
used
their
dominant
position
in
the
market
to
enter
into
an
arrangement
with
the
exhibitors
saying
that
they
will
give
them
Ek
Tha
Tiger
only
if
the
exhibitors
agreed
to
reportedly
give
their
Diwali
release
prominence
over
others."
However,
in
a
recent
press
conference
when
Ajay
was
asked
whether
he
was
requested
by
Shahrukh
Khan
to
move
the
release
date
ahead,
Ajay
said,
"Did
Shahrukh
himself
call
you
and
say
that?
In
fact,
it
was
very
sweet
of
him
to
say
that
Yash
Chopra
himself
would
have
wanted
both
the
films
to
release
on
the
same
day.
No
two
movies
clash.
In
Diwali
always
two
films
release
and
I
want
all
films
to
run
well;
not
only
mine!
There
is
a
lot
of
space
in
the
industry."
