Mumbai:
It
was
reported
earlier
that
Shahrukh
Khan's
Chennai
Express
will
clash
with
Akshay
Kumar's
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbaai
Again
as
both
the
movies
were
releasing
on
Eid.
But
now
Ekta
Kapoor
has
decided
to
reschedule
OUATIM
2.
It
has
been
revealed
that
Shahrukh
is
very
close
to
Ekta's
father
Jeetendra
and
that's
why
Jeetendra
decided
to
release
the
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
on
15
August
instead
of
Eid.
In
an
official
statement,
Shahrukh
Khan
confirmed
the
news
and
stated,
"Keeping
in
mind
that
both
weekends
are
good
times
for
film
releases,
Jeetendra
sir
being
the
senior-most
showed
the
path.
He
took
the
decision
to
move
OUATIM
2
to
August
15.
This
is
extremely
graceful
of
him."
Shahrukh
further
added," UTV,
Rohit
and
I
are
very
happy
with
the
decision
made
and
we
thank
Jeetu
sir
and
Balaji
for
the
same.
This
should
pave
the
way
for
such
mature
and
sensible
amicable
understandings
whenever
two
films
release
on
the
same
day
in
future
too."
