Harman Baweja facing date clash blues again!

Harman Baweja's debut film Love Story 2050 released on the same date (4th July) as Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na did and the result is out there for everyone to see. Love Story 2050 was a complete washout whereas Jaane Tu is still breaking records. Harman's filmmaker dad, Harry Baweja had requested Aamir Khan to postpone the release of his produced film so that Harman gets a clean release but Aamir did not agree his request. But it seems the clash blues are back to haunt him again!

Now Harman's second release, Victory, a sports based film, with Harman playing the character of an Indian cricket team player is all set to come on November 14th. Its release date was announced around 2 months back now. But unfortunately for the talented newcomer, there are not one but two mighty oppositions coming together for a mega clash with his Victory. Karan Johar has announced 14th November as the release date for his produced Dostana, directed by his assistant Tarun Mansukhani, starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Bobby Deol and Priyanka Chopra. UTV too has announced the release of their Fashion directed by Madhur Bhandarkar starring Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and Arbaaz Khan as 14th November.

Industry sources revealed to us, "Harman is extremely nervous presently and has requested the makers of Victory to postpone its release further by one week to 21st November. He definately wouldn't want to sabotage his own career by releasing his second film along with two biggies. Much has been written about Harman being one of the most promising newcomers and big filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Anees Bazmee and Ashutosh Gowariker showing faith in him and signed him for their future projects. One more flop and Harman will no longer the blue eyed boy of the industry."

Ironically, both Fashion and Dostana star Harman's "good friend" Priyanka Chopra in the lead. One wonders what she is thinking about two of her most ambitious projects clashing on the same date! -(SAMPURN)
