Deepika Padukone dismisses rumours of allegedly calling Shah Rukh Khan to shift 'Dilwale' release date

Saturday, 17 October 2015 - 7:10pm IST | Agency: PTI

While it was reported that DP actually requested mentor SRK to shift the release date of Dilwale, the actress has openly rubbished all such claims.

Even though Deepika Padukone andShah Rukh Khan share a close bond, the actress says she can never think of asking him to push the release date of "Dilwale" to avoid clash with her film "Bajirao Mastani". The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed period love saga and Shah Rukh-Kajol's "Dilwale" are set to release this December 18.

There were reports that 29-year-old Deepika, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh in "Om Shanti Om", called the 49-year-old star for a possible date change. "When you are working on a film like 'Bajirao Mastani', you have very little time or headspace for even getting involved in something like that. The only thing you can do as an actor is do your part with honesty and conviction and leave the rest to the professionals like the producers and the director to take the call. I have a very personal equation with Shah Rukh. I would never do something like that," Deepika said here when asked to comment on the speculation.

"Bajirao Mastani" also stars Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles. This is not the first time Bhansali and Shah Rukh are pitted against each other at the box-office. The director's "Saawariya" and Shah Rukh-starrer "Om Shanti Om" released on the same date in 2007. "Saawariya" did not do well at the box office.

Well if you have a very personal equation with each other I don't think there's anything wrong in simply asking your A-list Khan friend to consider changing the release date of his movie or whatever. It would hardly affect him, besides, if your film production had announced the release date first anyway, your "friend" - if he is a genuine friend - should show more consideration before declaring the same release date for his film. Everyone knows a Khan film will most likely crush any other film, and he knew that too when he chose the same release date. Can't say it mattered enough to him though! It's all business at the end of the day isn't it.

I believe every word of the article now...SRK has been tight lipped over it...His silence speaks louder than DP's chatter!!!
