Oh my god. I am not happy with this news.
I was really looking forward to the movie Delhi 6 becasue of Abhi & Sonam and now it is going to be released with Billo Barber.
Why I am scared? - Just becasue Billo Barber is SRK production house adn we all know how he operates. We have examples of Saawaariya and Jane- Mann.
I hope Rakesh Om Prakash made a very very good movie which canstand i nall teh negative publicity if pitted against SRK .
SRK and Abhishek battle it out on 13 February
By BCN, 2 November, 2008
SRK%20and%20Abhishek%20battle%20it%20out%20on%2013%20FebruaryIt's a clash between King Khan and Bachchan Jr. on 13 February 2009 with their releases Billo Barber and Dilli 6 respectively. Billo Barber stars Shahrukh Khan, Irrfan Khan and Lara Dutta in lead roles, while Dilli 6 stars Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor in lead roles.

Khan's film is directed by Priyadarshan and is based on Tamil film Kuselan, which is the story of a barber shop owner in a village and his best friend who he meets after 25 years and is now a super star.

Dilli 6 is directed by Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra and is based on Mehra's years of growing up in Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi.

Where Billo Barber was earlier slated for release for Diwali on 29 October, it was postponed to November because the shooting of a song and the visual effects of the film were pending. The film was further delayed because releasing it in November, just weeks before Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi also starring Khan and directed by Aditya Chopra, was not a viable option.

Hence, Billo Barber will now release on 13 February, which will result in a clash with Dilli 6 which is scheduled for the same date.

It had to happen. So many films got postponed that in the first half of 2009 we will probably watch many good films clashing.
I am looking forward to Dilli 6 for ROM. His script is always very strong. I even loved his Aks. As of now Abhishek Bachchan or Sonam Kapoor are not crowd pullers but everyone will at least give ROM a chance and if he has a good product then the film will run no matter what.
I have seen Malayalam version of Billoo Barber and personally think it is not a very interesting subject for Hindi industry. Bollywood is more glam. It was a superhit in Malayalam but then that industry always works on strong scripts. Choice of Irrfan Khan as lead actor is apt but Irrfan and Lara Dutta are not exactly crowd pullers either. In original film the superstar character which SRK plays enters only after interval but now I hear that SRK is going to appear soon and his role is increased. There are special numbers by Kareena, Deepika, Katrina and Priyanka which will obviously be part of SRK's promotion.
At the end of the day if the film has strong script and actors have the capability to capture audience's interest then clash doesn't matter. Both films will work. Lagaan and Gadar clashed and both were blockbusters. This year too Ghajini and RNBDJ are clashing.

I guess I am going to go for Delhi 6.
Billo Barber has lots of Item songs so I guess the story is going to take a back seat.
I wish Abhi & Sonam best of luck..but then again it is public which makes or breaks the movie and now a days public is getting very smart. They go for a nice & good movie. And ROM makes good movies...
