A few moments back, Sanjay
Leela Bhansali and Akshay Kumar met the media at Akshay’s house Prime Beach,
and declared that Sanjay Leela Bhansali and him, had reached a compromise. The
Padmaavat-Pad Man clash had been averted!
Of course SpotboyE.com broke the story much
before the Press Conference. At 4:30pm we brought you our exclusive story, Jhagda
Khatam: Pad Man Moves to Feb 9,

Coming back to the media briefing, we were of
course present there and want to tell you that, Sanjay Leela Bhansali expressed
gratitude for Akshay, with folded hands.

“Yeh date (Jan 25) inki thi, when we requested Akshay to let us
have Jan 25 for
Padmavati, he didn’t take more than two minutes, to honour my request. I will
be very grateful to him for life,” said Bhansali.

Akshay Kumar said, “They (Team Padmaavat) have a
reason to release their film ASAP! Also, I understand a lot is at stake for him
(Bhansali). His need to release on this date, is more than my need. He is a
dear friend of mine, I respect him a lot. This is the least I could do for
him.”
This has come as a big relief to distributors
and exhibitors who were confused as hell on how to divide the two bonanzas with
equal display.

Better sense has prevailed. Kudos to Akshay
Kumar, who had in fact announced the release date of January 25 before Padmaavat makers declared the same date
for their film’s release.
