Roshans to move 'Krrish 4' from Christmas 2018 as Shah Rukh Khan announced the date first
Emphasising on the fact that he had no idea the 2018 date was taken, Roshan Sr told BT, "It is unethical for me to release my film on this date as Shah Rukh has already announced his movie." However, he's in no mood to shift 'Kaabil', as he states, "I had announced the date for 'Kaabil' earlier. If they are coming on the same date, then I can't do anything about it."
Roshan adds, "I don't know what they will eventually decide. We're here to make films, not create controversies. As far as Shah Rukh is concerned, he's like a younger brother to me. I gave him a break in 'King Uncle', and then worked with him in 'Karan Arjun' and 'Koyla'."
When probed if he would shift 'Kaabil' from Republic Day if SRK requests, Roshan maintains, "I don't move my release date, if I have announced it first. When 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' was releasing on January 14, 2000, Aamir Khan's 'Mela' was coming on January 7, Shah Rukh's 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani' on January 21 and Anil Kapoor's Pukar on February 4. Some distributors suggested I move my film as Hrithik was a newcomer. They left the film because I didn't change my release date."
