I couldnt shift the release date because I am superstitious-Rakesh

Shah Rukh's Raees and Hrithik's Kaabil is one
of the most talked about clashes scheduled
for the last week of January. And while
Rakesh Roshan was visibly upset with it, the
producer recently revealed that he didn't
move Kaabil's release date further because
he is "superstitious."
During a recent interview with a leading
daily Mr. Roshan said, "I am neither angry
nor hurt with Shah Rukh Khan, Ritesh
Sidhwani or Farhan Akhtar...What is baffling
is that SRK, Farhan and Ritesh came to meet
me twice to discuss the release date and I
explained to them that the box office
window open to us collectively is
approximately Rs 300 crore. They agreed,
then went and announced that they are
coming on the Republic Day Weekend of
2017."
He further opened up about the reason why
he didn't shift the date and pointed out,
"Once SRK suggested to me that I should
shift my date. I told him I couldn't because I
am superstitious. During King Uncle, I had
pushed the release earlier by four weeks
because of my daughter Sunaina's wedding
and the film flopped. After that I have never
shifted the original date."
Rakesh added, "I explained this to SRK and
pointed out to him that if I didn't shift the
release then when my son was still a
debutant and there was so much at stake, I
wouldn't now. I told them to move Raees
two weeks ahead or release it two weeks
before. They hadn't even announced their
date at that point. But now that they have
decided to come on the same date as us, it
is fine. Both the films together will do a
business of Rs 300 crore. What is my destiny
will not change!"
