Deepika asked Shah Rukh Khan to change the release date of Dilwale

Deepika Padukone asked Shah Rukh Khan to change the release date of Dilwale?

That's what a popular film columnist in a weekly magazine suggests
December will witness one of the biggest clashes in Bollywood. Rohit Shetty's Dilwale starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon will lock horns with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's dream venture Bajirao Mastani featuring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra on December 18.

Though a lot of industrywallas still feel that one of the filmmakers will step down to avoid a clash, this probably won't happen. Wondering why we say so, well, a columnist in a popular magazine hinted this in a blind item. He wrote, "Turns out all's not well between a male superstar and a top actress, and it may have something to do with the fact that they have major movies clashing on the same date. According to sources in the film trade, when it became clear that both movies had been scheduled to open the same weekend, the actress reportedly called up the superstar"whom she has worked closely with from the start of her career" and requested him to consider shifting his film's release date. "It's my biggest release, na..." she apparently cooed to the actor, who is believed to have smartly retorted that he'd happily oblige if she was willing to make the same request to him on Twitter or in the press: "Just say We're scared to come on the same day, so please shift your release,' and I will."

Strangely during a recent outing to promote Bajirao Mastani, Deepika fiegned ignorance and claimed she wasn't aware Dilwale was releasing on the same day as them. "I don't know, I am getting to know from you guys", were her words when a journalist quizzed her about the clash. In another interview she gave a more elaborate quote saying, "It is not as complicated as it is made to sound or written. It is very simple. The kind of film they are making and we are working on are very different from each other." She had further added saying, ""I think "Bajirao Mastani" is so consuming that we don't have time to worry about who is doing what. We have our own deadlines. In the process, if some other films come I think there is enough space for both of them to come and do well."

Why SRK is being stubborn? If it was Salman or Aamir or Akshay or Ajay ... Would have made sense. But I don't know what he is trying to prove by releasing with em?

I have no doubt both movies will do well ... But why distribute moolah to the other film? I would have liked to see how much both would have made when released solo.

DP, SLB or whoever else has any issues with the clash should just suck it up. Just be confident about your own product, man.

Its the same "news" being recycled ...have been reading the same quotes from Deepika and SRK for last 2 months, so basically this is old wine in new bottle.

PC shud do something more... like mosquito. Nah, why wud she? 😉 Busy with Quantico.

There is no way SLB is backing down, he didn't backdown when he was launching newcomers ( Saawariya) and at the time he was going against SRK ( again) and Farah Khan with the major star cast. Based on that I don't think he'll backdown especially considering this time he has two of the most popular actors in his film.

She shoulda asked him nicely .

Like the other I asked the boss if I could take an early lunch and then just not come back at all till tomorrow .

He was fine with it 😆😆

product main dum tu kya darna Rohit shety ka product sub ko mallom hai dont woarry baby those who liked good movie defnetly they watch your movie

For quality purpose, I want BM to do better than Dilwale.. RS movies are nothing but shits 🤢

think "Bajirao Mastani" is so consuming that we don't have time to worry about who is doing what. We have our own deadlines. In the process, if some other films come I think there is enough space for both of them to come and do well u go girl. That's the spirit.
And this is the same Rajeev masands blind.
