'Krrish 4' won't clash with SRK's 'Bandhua', confirms Papa Roshan

Finally good sense has prevailed and Senior Roshan has confirmed that Krrish 4 won't release on the same day as Shah Rukh Khan's film with Aanand L Rai.

Rakesh Roshan is determined to stick to his Republic Day release date for Kaabil, but is willing to shift the release date of Krrish 4. Currently, the filmmaker's upcoming film Kaabil, starring Hrithik Roshan, is set for a clash with Raees (being produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, starring Shah Rukh Khan). And he is in no mood to change that, Confirming this he said, "I had announced the date for Kaabil earlier. If they are coming on the same date, then I can't do anything about it."

However, he is willing to avoid another clash with an SRK film. Roshan clarifies he wasn't aware that SRK had announced the release of his movie with Aanand L Rai in which he plays a dwarf -on Christmas 2018.

He explained, "It is unethical for me to release my film on this date as Shah Rukh has already announced his movie." 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."
