CONFIRMED: Aiyaary POSTPONED To February 16; Akshay Kumar's Pad Man Goes Solo This Friday
The shift of Padmaavat is still having its share of repercussions. After Pad Man was shifted, it is now Aiyaary which gets into the game of musical chairs...
Let's reverse this phrase: One man's meat is another
man's poison. Yahan aisa hua that: One man's poison is another man's meat.
Aiyaary is NOT coming on February 16. This implies
that Akshay Kumar's Pad Man will hit theatres solo on Feb 9.
Aiyaary which promises to be a good film had moved
away from Pad Man when Akshay Kumar announced that he is releasing Pad Man
on Jan 25. But later Kumar again moved his film, to give Padmaavat a
free run.
This shift saw him again locking horns with Aiyaary.
Not that Padman would have been affected by Aiyaary, but what's happening at
Neeraj Pandey's (director of Aiyyary) office is absolute chaos.
A Still From Aiyaary
The Censor Board has returned the film to them, ordering them to incorporate 5
cuts- at places which bothered the Defence Ministry officials who saw
the film a few days ago.
A source from Team Aiyarry says, "It won't be
possible to infuse the cuts and then make a free-flowing draft in just 2-3
days. Hence we decided to have a week at our disposal. We now plan to release
Aiyaary on Feb 16."
A Still From Padman
When contacted, Jayantilal Gada (one of the producers of Aiyaary) told SpotboyE.com
this evening, "Yes, Aiyaary has been pushed by a week. The decision was
taken just few minutes back."
So, coming Friday, we have only Pad Man- which
should now also benefit in getting more shows in multiplexes.
Padman produced by Twinkle Khanna-Prernaa Arora and
directed by R Balki stars Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte---
while Aiyaary produced by Shital Bhatia-Dhaval Gada- Jayantilal Gada stars
Siddharth Malhotra, Rakul Preet and Manoj Bajpayee in main roles.
Confirming the postponement, Gada add,”We have not received
the cuts from Censors yet. We are coming on Feb 16. We don’t have any other option”
