Last night,
Akshay Kumar tweeted that Pad Man, (produced by KriArj Entertainment and
himself) will release on January 25 and not 26.
This came as a big surprise because like us, Akshay too is aware that Viacom 18
and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have been toying with the idea of Padmavati hitting
theatres on January 26/February 9.
SpotboyE.com had broken that story on January 2.
It is clear that Akshay does not feel the heat of Padmavati. It is also clear
that Akshay has decided that if Padmavati clashes with Pad Man, he will not
shift Pad Man. Open challenge, eh!
Still From Padman
SpotboyE.com has it that it was Akshay's idea to shift the movie's release date
ahead by a day. The superstar clearly believes that he has a very good product
at hand, and there is no reason why he should panic.
We now await the
official announcement on Padmavati, which sources say, is expected
by Monday.
Still From Padmavati
SpotboyE.com had told you in the January 2 story that if Padmavati does not
make it on January 26, it
will then see the light of day on February 9.
Meanwhile, last
night, KRK (indirectly) endorsed on our January 2 story, posting a tweet
saying that 'Padmavati will release onFebruary 9'. Not that we believe him--- but if February 9 indeed turns out to be Padmavati's
release date, the Pad Man- Padmavati clash may have been averted--- but what
will happen to KriArj's other film, Anushka Sharma's Pari, which is
scheduled for March 9? Who
says 'Two is Company'?
Let's see how Viacom and Bhansali react to Akshay's
decision to stay put with Pad Man.
Spare a thought
for Aiyaary if both biggies- Pad Man and Padmavati- lock horns January
25 onward.
