Ajay Devgn decides not to clash with Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan?

Ajay Devgn is currently busy with the shooting of ‘Golmaal Again’. When the movie was announced the makers had decided to release it on Diwali, however as the shooting was a bit delayed there were reports that the movie will be postponed. But now, the shooting is on track, and it was said that the movie might release as per the schedule. However, once again the makers of the film have decided to release it on Diwali as there are already two films hitting the screens, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘2.0’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘Secret Superstar’ which stars Zaira Wasim in the lead role.

A source told a leading daily, “Ajay and the Reliance heads (who are backing the film) were in talks with distributors and were enquiring if, despite the clash, they would still manage to get at least 2,400-2,600 screens for their film. The distributors had assured him that much initially, and it’s not surprising given that it’s a Rohit Shetty entertainer and more than that, a really popular franchise.”

But, as now there are two other films releasing on the same day ‘Golmaal Again’ might not get the number of screens the makers wanted. So, that’s why once again it is said that the movie won’t release on Diwali. (Also Read: This indeed is a well deserved win, says Ajay Devgn on ‘Shivaay’ receiving National Film Award)

An exhibitor revealed, “‘2.0’ is going to dominate down South, because it is a Rajinikanth film and it’s no secret that he is worshipped in the region. His films are made for the masses. Also, one must not forget that the major reason why Akshay Kumar works for that film is because of his huge hold in North India, which most dubbed South films lack. So, ‘2.0’ is going to work big time up North as well and that meant major screen crunch for ‘Golmaal 4’ if it clashed with the Rajini-Akshay starrer. Another huge reason why ‘Golmaal’ and ‘2.0’ cannot clash is because they are made for similar audiences — the youth and families. But Aamir’s ‘Secret Superstar’ has a very different audience base — it’s made largely for the metro urban multiplex audiences and is a relatively niche film. So ‘Secret Superstar’ won’t be that affected by the release of ‘2.0’ on Diwali. Whoever wants to watch it will anyway watch it and Aamir knows this film won’t bring in the numbers that his other films do. After all, he just has an extended guest appearance.”

Well, now let’s wait and watch which will be the new release date of ‘Golmaal Again’.
