'Ishaqzaade' release advanced to May 11

The release date of "Ishaqzaade", starring Parineeti Chopra and newcomer Arjun Kapoor, has been advanced from May 18 to May 11, resulting in a clash with "Dangerous Ishq".

The decision to release the romance drama a week earlier came in after much thought by production company Yash Raj Films (YRF).

"With 'Ferrari ki Sawaari' moving to a later date and the IPL (Indian Premier League) crunch matches starting from May 18, this shift will give 'Ishaqzaade' a better window for release," said a statement from YRF.

With the shift in release date, "Ishaqzaade" will clash with Vikram Bhatt's "Dangerous Ishq", which marks the comeback of Karisma Kapoor to Bollywood after five years.
