Even as one remains to be looking to work out whether this Diwali would witness some of the biggest clashes of the new times with Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn taking over each other, here's the most recent development. Apparently, heavy weights Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor have finalised the similar date for his or her respective productions, hence resulting in whispers throughout the industry circles if all is indeed well between the duo.
"Their Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Lootera are progressing quite well and both Karan and Ekta are extremely gung-ho about their respective films. However, now they appear to have penciled within the same date for his or her release. Not only is that this unhealthy, it is usually very surprising since in real life they're thick friends and would never allow clash of any kind, whether personal or professional", informs a source.
This was evident from the truth that when promotion of Ekta's recent release Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum kick-started, Karan was gracious enough to lend a couple of shots from his Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum. He was also quite a sport when his Dostana was spoofed within the film. However, it is extremely surprising that both need to arrive at the same date now.
"Both Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Lootera are romantic films and have hearthrobs like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranvir Singh. It might be unfair to pit them against each other", a veteran filmmaker adds, "Perhaps that is only a stop gap arrangement at the a part of both filmmakers as they might not want anyone else to eye the similar slot. It's actually a sensible step because later considered one of them will quietly move out, hence paving the way in which for other to have a free run."
This sounds logical as well, because the 2 also are expected to start out a movie soon with first time director Akshay Roy. Guess the perceived clash was only a watch wash though you can safely presume that the solid would surely be heaving a sigh of relief.
We tried contacting Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor but they selected to not comment.
