Ever
since
the
trailer
of
Thackeray
released
online,
the
film
has
become
a
talking
point
for
various
reasons.
The
film
is
slated
to
release
on
25th
January,
2019.
Emraan
Hashmi
starrer
Cheat
India
was
supposed
to
hit
the
big
screens
on
the
same
day.
But
now,
the
makers
of
the
film
have
preponed
the
film's
release
date
to
18th
January,
2019
to
avoid
a
clash
with
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui's
Thackeray.
Recently
when
Aamir
Khan
was
asked
about
producers
shifting
their
film's
release
date
to
avoid
a
box-office
clash
with
Thackeray
biopic,
here's
what
he
had
to
say-
There's
No
Biggest
Star
Than
Balasaheb
In
Maharashtra
At
a
press
conference
of
an
event,
Aamir
reacted
to
the
shuffling
of
dates
and
said,
"Every
producer
wants
his/her
film
to
release
on
a
good
(suitable)
date.
Each
producer
also
wants
(date
of
release
of)
his/her
film
to
not
clash
with
any
other
big
film.
I
think,
there
is
no
bigger
star
than
Balasahab
in
Maharashtra."
No
Producer
Would
Want
To
Clash
With
Thackeray
Aamir
further
added,
"So,
no
one
would
want
to
clash
with
that
(release
of
the
film'
Thackeray').
So,
it
is
a
normal
thing.
I
don't
think
there
is
any
surprise."
Emraan's
Cheat
India
Preponed
To
Avoid
A
Clash
With
Thackeray
Producer
Bhushan
Kumar
made
the
announcement
at
a
press
conference
and
said,
"There
was
no
pressure.
We
have
not
shifted
the
release
date
due
to
any
pressure
or
out
of
any
ego.
We
did
it
because
it
made
business
sense
and
out
of
respect
for
Balasaheb
Thackeray."
'We
Should
Not
Keep
Ego'
Kumar
added,
"From
producer's
point
of
view,
I
feel
we
should
not
keep
any
ego.
We
had
shifted
'Hindi
Medium'
and
we
had
preponed
'Aashiqui
2'
by
two
weeks.
We
did
it
because
we
wanted
to
give
justice
to
our
film.
We
did
not
want
to
fight.
We
are
confident
about
our
upcoming
film.
It
is
a
content-driven
film.
To
give
the
film
its
due
it
needed
a
clear
week."
