Jeetendra, Shah Rukh Khan and UTV resolve clash of Chennai Express and OUATIMA

Jeetendra and Shah Rukh Khan
Just yesterday we had reported that the release dates of Chennai Express and Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again (OUATIM), that were to clash on Eid day (8 August), have been changed. But do you know what went behind the scenes that resulted in the clash being averted. It so happened that Shah Rukh Khan spoke to Jeetendra, Chairman, Balaji Motion Pictures after which the two along with officials of UTV had a meeting to resolve the situation and find a win-win situation for all. Said Shah Rukh Khan, “Keeping in mind that both weekends (8 Aug and 15tAug) are good times for film releases, Jeetendra Sir being the senior most showed the path. He took the decision to move OUATIMA to 15th August. This is extremely graceful of him. UTV, Rohit and I are very happy with the said decision and we thank Jeetu Sir and Balaji for the same. This should pave the way for such mature and sensible amicable understandings whenever two films release on the same day in future too.” Added Ekta Kapoor, “My father and Shah Rukh spoke and have clearly worked out what is best for both the films. Both are big and keenly awaited films and should not be made to eat into each other’s business. I have huge respect for SRK and wish him the best.” UTV and Red Chillies Films’ Chennai Express will release on 8 August while Balaji Motion Pictures’ romantic drama Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again will open on 15 August, 2013 (Independence Day).
