Films starring actors Kareena Kapoor and Sridevi, which were scheduled to release on the same day now have different release dates

After going back and forth, actor Sridevi’s comeback film English Vinglish has been postponed from the original release date of September 21. While the producers of the film were very particular about releasing the film on September 21 and had locked in the date much in advance, it was clashing with actor Kareena Kapoor’s much-talked about Heroine. The glitch here was that Madhur was refusing to budge from the release date because he had very early on announced that his film would release on that date which happens to be Kareena’s birthday. A source from the industry reveals, “Both parties were unhappy with their films clashing at the box-office but neither was willing to shift the dates because other slots in September were already taken by other big films. Also this year, September is special because it has most women-oriented films releasing, so both producers did not want to let go of the perfect period. Even the fact that the business of both the films would be affected did not make a difference. Finally, after taking into consideration the entire situation, English Vinglish has been pushed to October 5.” According to the trade, Eros, the producers of Sridevi’s film did not want to take any chances because this is being touted as Sri’s comeback film. A lot of her fans are awaiting its release and so decided to finally let Heroine release on September 21 and pushed the date to October 5. The decision was apparently arrived at after a meeting earlier this week attended by the producers, director Gauri Shinde who is filmmaker R Balki’s wife and Boney Kapoor. A source close to Eros, however, says that the film has been pushed because the company did not want two of their releases — the other one being Chakravyuh in the same month. Chakravyuh releases on September 12. Meanwhile, another source reveals that the film has been postponed because some portions are yet to be completed.
