Bollywood has been eagerly waiting to witness a mega clash at the box-office next week. Padmavat and PadMan were slated to release on January 25. Until yesterday things did seem that way. Suddenly, things did change overnight. On Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s request, Akshay Kumar has agreed to postpone ‘PadMan’ for Padmavat.
PadMan, starring Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor, and Radhika Apte, has completed censor board formalities a few weeks ago. Akshay Kumar also announced PadMan would release on January 25th, for the Republic Day weekend. Consequently, PadMan will release on February 9th, 2018.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali joined Akshay Kumar at the press meet and thanked him for his kind gesture. ‘He has gone through a lot. It is vital for him to release the film on time, given its mammoth scale. I felt their stakes are higher than mine’, said Akshay Kumar.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali stated, ‘I will be ever grateful to Akshay for a lifetime. This is how we stand together’. With no other film releasing on January 25th, trade analysts are predicting that Padmavat will turn out to be the biggest film in Indian Film history, surpassing SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali and Amir Khan’s Dangal.
