Dharma Productions’ Ayan Mukerji-directed film Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani that stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone was originally slated for release on 29 March (2013). However, Karan Johar has now decided to postpone the release date to 31 May. The reason is that Karan doesn’t want a clash with good friend Ekta Kapoor whose <em>Lootera</em> is scheduled to hit theatres on the same day. As is known that it is not a good idea to release two big films on the same day; one eats into the other’s business and importantly, the audience gets divided.
