Aamir Khan starrer ‘Dangal’ won’t release on December 23

There were reports that Aamir Khan and the makers of ‘Dangal’ are planning to postpone the release of the film as their movie has some similarities with Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’. However, the reports turned out to be false. And now, according to a report in Bollywood Life, ‘Dangal’ has been preponed by a week.

The movie was earlier slated to release on December 23, but now it will be hitting the screens on December 16. A source said, “Aamir has no plans to shift the release date of ‘Dangal’ to 2017. His film is definitely releasing in December.”

“The release date is not December 23 now. Aamir and UTV plan to release ‘Dangal’ a week ahead on December 16. An official announcement will be made soon,” added the source.

The change in the release date will actually benefit the movie. The source stated, “Releasing the film a week before will ensure the film has three weeks of free run till the second week of January, much like it did with ‘PK’ and ‘Dhoom 3’.”

An insider said, “It makes sense. After all, releasing the film a week ahead did help both ‘Dhoom 3’ and ‘PK’.”
