IN PICS: How Akshay & Bhansali Compromised To End The Pad Man-Padmaavat Jhagda

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, Bhansali Requested Akshay To Compromise.

“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.

Team Aiyaary which had smartly shifted its release date on 
Feb 9, finds itself in a tight spot as it will again clash with Pad Man.
