Roshan's confirmation comes a day after Shah Rukh Khan visited the residence of his Karan Arjun' director to sort out the release date issue.
After the meeting, Shah Rukh had tweeted "Met friend/mentor/family after many a days. Mr. R.Roshan reminded me.. it's not important to do 2 much, it's important to get 1 right. Thx sir."
A day after the meeting, Roshan told Bombay Times "My film will release on Republic Day weekend as planned. I don't know about them. Farhan (Akhtar) is not in town. So maybe after he returns, we'll know"
Talking about Shah Rukh's visit, Roshan Sr said "We were just sitting and chatting like old times. It was good to catch up as we have done many films together - I gave Shah Rukh a break in King Uncle, then Koylaa and Karan Arjun"
Meanwhile, trade sources say, Rakesh Roshan has already committed to his old-time distributors and sold a few territories of his film. In the past, Roshan has sold territory rights of his films like Krrish 3, Krrish, Koi Mil Gaya etc to individual distributors even before the film went on floors.
With the kind of mutual trust that Roshan shares with his distributors and the fact that the trade in general is against corporates taking over, it'll be a catch 22 situation for the makers of Raees. They can't postpone the film again, but releasing it against Kaabil' isn't going to be easy either - especially during a non-festive weekend like Republic Day.
