NEW DELHI: The title of director Milan Luthria‘s forthcoming movie Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again has been changed to Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara.
The romantic drama produced by Balaji Motion Pictures‘ will release on 15 August (Independence Day).
Shah Rukh Khan and Jeetendra spoke to each other and later a meeting was held between Jeetendra, UTV and Shah Rukh Khan - whose Chennai Express directed by Rohit Shetty is also due for release - to resolve the situation of both the movies releasing together, and find a win-win situation for all.
"Keeping in mind that both weekends (8 August and 15 August) are good times for film releases, Jeetendra Sir being the senior most showed the path. He took the decision to move OUATIM Dobara to 15 August. This is extremely graceful of him. UTV, Rohit and I are very happy with the decision made 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," Khan said.
"My father and Shah Rukh spoke and have clearly worked out what is best for both the films. Both are big and keenly awaited and should not be made to eat into each other‘s business. I have huge respect for SRK and wish him the best," says Ekta Kapoor.
The film is a sequel to 2010 hit Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, is produced by Balaji Motion Pictures.
Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara, starring Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Sonali Bendre, was earlier releasing with Shah Rukh Khan‘s Chennai Express, but the clash has been averted now.
