We thank Jeetu sir and Balaji for postponing OUATIMD: SRK

Shahrukh Khan, who organised a meeting between Jeetendra and UTV Motion Pictures, thanked the yesteryear star for resolving the situation and finding a win-win situation for Chennai Express, which releases on 8th August and Balaji’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara.

“Keeping in mind that both weekends (Eid and Independence day) are good times for film releases, Jeetendra sir being the senior most showed the path. He took the decision to move Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara (title changed) to 15th 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,” Shahrukh Khan said.

“My father and Shahrukh 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.

  • I was planning to watch OUATIM but now i never watch this movie, due to
    first : Changed title
    second : Changed release date even after trailer :(

  • That is the reason why i respect you KING KHAN. You never hesitate while giving credit to any person. One can see that how easily he thanked Jeetu Ji for a decision , which was taken by a mutual co-operation. After all , Jeetendra and Balaji , too, will get advantage by this move.But humble SRK just thanked him appreciating his seniority. Love you King Khan. I wish, Your CE will perform well at Box-Office…!!!

  • Now, it is a bigger task for CE to perform, as now there are no competition.

    While it is a setback for OUATIMA, as people don’t go to see back to back movies in a week, and there is a possibility of losing out on a good number of viewers.

    Though star power will obviously pack crowds in the weekend, the biggest player would be content now.

    If CE’s content is good it will stand good chance second week.

    While, if it is low on the content side, people’s not so good feedback will hold people planning to see it during the week, and they would thus wait for OUATIMA.

    It is a big game this August. All the best to both, and specially from my side to Akki !!!!!!!!!

  • @nolaniitjee. There is no reason for SRK to beg Jeetendra. Both movies will get their benefit by this move. So, you are totally wrong saying SRK begged and all that.Please mind your language before making such funny comments.

  • Jeetendra sir being the senior most showed the path. He took the decision to move Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara(title changed) to 15th August.
    So It was not SRK request :D It was jet sir decision also the title change was his decision

    every thing is so clear now like i was saying , pr are the ones who decidead to change the time and the title not and it was not srk request

    happy 4 the 2 , now every 1 will depend on its story, no one can say the clash was the reason of the low nos or the screens no

    Lets wait

  • srk is just lucky.got solo release.otherwise he will be in danger.
    balaji took wrong decision.

    thebhatta:
    thats ur decision .wether u watch it or not
    ce is really in danger

  • i bet with all srk fans…especially xzone… chennai express will not cross 140 crore despite releasing on holiday weekend & being masala film & having open release & having crappiest star!!! any1 wants to bet loser srk fans??

  • Healthy relations Should maintain like this

    Even SRK faced lot at diwali 2012 where SoS released like this happened before it will be good for both movie

    But this is purely a game Gap should be atleast 2 weeks of release then there will be mutual benefits other wise it can happen like YJHD and YPD2(vice versa)

    Means anything can happen WOM will play imp role

    But SRK was keen on boxoffice records this time he is too serious on this time

  • srk fans gone mad after watching the trailor.
    srk himself said i requested balaji.
    but fans r not accepting srk is scared of ouatima

  • @tejas game on boy i bet with CE will cross 140cr if not i will stop posting comment on indicine and if CE crosses 140 r than evry srkian in indicine column will cal you idiot
    DO YOU HAVE GUTS THAN BET ON IT?

  • @tejas game on boy i bet with ce will cross 140cr if not i will stop posting comment on indicine and if ce crosses 140 cr than evry srkian in indicine column will cal you idiot
    DO YOU HAVE GUTS THAN BET ON IT?

  • @tejal and i bet with you ce cross 140cr with in 7 days, cheak youtube ce got 6600plus likes with in an hour and your ouatim again ya dobara got just 6500 likes, hahaha losser kahika, atfirst tell aki to give a clean hit and cross 70cr mark then think for blockbuster

  • @gewone, If it was all Jeetu sir’s idea, why srk thanking Jeetu?

    It is their film, whether they change date, title or whatever, why should srk be bothered?

    you only thank when someone does a favour, and that’s what srk is doing.

    Jeetu did a favour. Period.

    if srk is so social for thanking everyone for their acts, then why did he stop only thanking for date change and not name change.

    Accept it. Srk requested, Jeetu sir obliged with a favour.

  • see i knew…srk fans are losers and afraid that their crapstar will lose… agar himmat hai to bet lagao losers!

  • @nolaniit jee…….and u were the witness of that begging…isn’t it??? seriously, ur farcical comment is even not worthy for a laugh…..i don’t knw in which world u r living..but i m sure that world is full of sorrow and woe….bcoz of which, a moron like u got his existence…
    @tejas….it’s really interesting to see a loser calling another person as a looser….hehehe…..a bet shud be fixed with a loyal man…not like u double standard salman fans….so just shut ur mouth nd wait patiencely for chennai express…

  • @jc SRK thanking him as a gentlman becuz he removed the clash thats it no more no less ,

    he didnot say i asked him nor Jeetendra sir said that they only said that SRK organised a meeting between Jeetendra and UTV Motion Pictures, Without saying who is the man behind the meeting’s idea , then outima pr decided to postpand their movie not srk movie also they made another huge thing and changed ‘the title ‘ did srk ask them to that too? :D ,

    I know he didnt so keep quite plz :D

  • @Gewone n xzone: heights of hypocrisy n double standards. India FM confirmed that it was srk who approached Jitendra sir with release delay request for OUATIMD. Srk could have got solo release only this way. A king should not be on others mercy or favours for his movies. n you guys call srk a king, this is the real aukad of your king!!!! bajao dhol ˇˇˇˇˇ

  • So it was jitendra’s decision to shift OUATM dobara. I thought it was akshay kmar’s decision and I started growing tremendous respect for him. However, it seems all respect should go to Jitendra for his kind heart. Thank you Jitendra and Ekta kapoor.

  • @hritik…y r u behaving like an innocent??? so, according to u, srk goes to jeetendra, saying plz extend ur date nd jeetendra give his nod without thinking even once……and he wasted all his preparations, which he did in advance for ouatima….is it so??? u dull…why it is not entering in ur dumb mind that it is a win-win situation for both balaji and utv….if we compare the trailers, then ouatima is nowhere against ce……so ouatima was bound to suffer more….accpet the truth as soon as possible…otherwise u ll continue to make more farcical comments…

  • srk begging to jeetu ji n ekta kapoor to postpone their film.. LOL.. how insecure this man can be.. srk is upto his cheap tactics again.. srk rocks! :P

  • @xzone : i know how factful your truths are which always beneficial to srk. yesterday u called the same thing as fake. it was a mutual business deal but why didnt srk approached Ekta coz he knew she wont pay any heed to srk. Thanks Jitendra sir for saving your srk.

  • @bollywood. U R gonna see who will beg after chennai express release. Again salman have to sell ticket from ticket counter like he did during Veer. Again salman have to restart his being human promotion in full throng when his Aukad will be shown durng Eid. Again salman have to beg to BigBoss producer for another chance. Not to menton he is already begging to South Indian producers for blockbluster remake rights but what will happen if remake dont work anymore? He have to beg to superstar to work along with them in multi starrer movie like he did before 2010.

  • This is purely a game Gap should be atleast 2 weeks of release then there will be mutual benefits other wise it can happen like YJHD and YPD2(vice versa)

    And also ZNMD and singham also release prior to one week gap as a result one gained at multiplexes and other gained at SS

    and ZNMD can collect 100Crs domestically may btw 100-106Cr but singham should have given 2 week gap but YPD2 was smashed by YJHD because WOM played imp role

    In olden days there may be 3-4 films may release at same day but now business markets have increased

    So its imp to have solo release even big films like K3 and D3 are releasing with atleast 2 week gap for RR and thupaaki remake

    But shahruk is facing problem now with ouatim m
    one can only speak after its release as both are huge movies
