We thank Jeetu sir and Balaji 4 postponing OUATIMD

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.
