'Krrish 3' release date advanced to Nov 1

Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan Thursday confirmed that his much-awaited movie "Krrish 3" will now release Nov 1 instead of Nov 4.

"It was a decision taken by the distributors and exhibitors that the film should come on Nov 1. I agreed with them, so now the movie will release on Nov 1," Rakesh Roshan told IANS.

Diwali falls Nov 3, which is a Sunday.

"Diwali is coming on a Sunday, so it is good to release the film before that," he added.
