Tubelight Effect! Here's Why The Release Date Of Raveena Tandon's Shab Was PUSHED Ahead

The Makers Of Shab Were Forced To Postpone The Release Date

Raveena Tandon's Shab has voluntarily backed out from releasing today. The film's director Onir revealed that it was only wise of them to not release the film around Salman's Tubelight because that in a way will only hamper their box office collections.

Raveena Tandon's Shab Was Not Getting Enough Screens

Onir was quoted as saying to DNA, "We decided to postpone the release as we were not getting enough screens. PVR did not get the time to watch the film and plan a release strategy. They were busy with Tubelight."

Raveena Goes Grey

Talking about her character, Raveena was quoted as saying to PTI, "I really wanted to do something challenging and fun. I opted for Shab because Onir is a dear friend and the character which I am playing in the film is something which I didn't do earlier.

It's a role of a diva but has shades of grey in it and in the film I walk through a very thin line between positive and negative. Onir gave me the other role first but I wanted this role because I have not played such a character before. I was more excited to play the negative part."

Shab To Clash With Jagga Jasoos

Meanwhile, the makers have now finalized 14th July as the new release date for Shab. That means, it would be locking horns at the box office with Ranbir Kapoor- Katrina Kaif starrer Jagga Jasoos.
