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."
