Ajay Devgn recently revealed that he called his Bollywood superstar friend after he announced that his new movie Runway 34 will be scheduled for an Eid release. Well is a known fact that Salman Khan mostly has the silver screens booked with his releases on Eid, but looks like this year he will make an exception for his friend Ajay. Yes, the Singham actor made a call to Salman Khan after he announced Runway 34 to be an Eid release.
Salman’s past movies like Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai, Bharat, Sultan and Tubelight were all Eid releases. His fans wait for Eid to be treated with his movies. Ajay told Pinkvilla, “My intention was not exactly an Eid release. We wanted to come on this date and it coincided with Eid. I was happy about it. When I announced the film, I didn’t realise that Eid is falling in the same week. The first thing I did is I called up Salman Khan.”
Talking about Salman’s response to his call, Ajay said, “I said, ‘I have announced this date and it is Eid. Are you okay?’ He was very sweet to tell me, ‘Don’t worry, I won’t come that week. I’ll come next year on Eid'” Further talking about having releases on festivals, the actor said, “Festivals help because there are holidays. People in festivals want to go out, have a nice time and enjoy themselves. After Ramzan, Eid comes and they celebrate. Cinema is all connected with celebrations.”
Salman had also shared on his social media account last month that since he does not have an Eid release this year his fans can celebrate the festival with Runway 34, he had written, “I don’t have any film ready toh maine apne bhai @ajaydevgn se request ki hai if he can come on Eid, Eidi dene ke liye. Chalo iss Eid hum sab celebrate karenge aur dekhenge Runway 34 (So I requested brother Ajay Devgn to come for Eid and share Eidi with us. So, this Eid we shall celebrate and watch Runway 34)(sic)”
