Kartik Aaryan Requests Rohit Shetty to Postpone Singham 3's Release

Bollywood films Bhool Bhulaiya 3 and Singham Again are two most awaited films of this year. Earlier, it was confirmed that both the films were set to release in Diwali and would clash with one another. But recently, it was reported that Kartik Aaryan, main lead in Bhool Bhulaiya called Singham Again’s director Rohit Shetty and requested him to change the release date of Singham Again.

This was informed by an anonymous source who said, “Kartik Aaryan reportedly called Rohit Shetty and made him a request to postpone the release of Singham 3. While Kartik intends to release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on 1st November, he has made in a request to Rohit Shetty to release Singham 3 on 15th November. Kartik Aaryan said a two-week gap can help both the celebrities have a good opening for their movies, instead of clashing at the box-office which will affect both the movies’ collections. Rohit Shetty has heard him out over the call and told him, that he will get back to him.”

A few hours later, reports surfaced online that Rohit Shetty had postponed the release of Singham Again by two weeks and a final decision is yet to be made. The insider source revealed, “Horror comedies are the flavour of the season post the release of Stree 2, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is something that can't be taken lightly at this point in time. Singham Again team is looking at a possible solo release on November 15, rather than indulging in a clash on November 1."

The source further added, “Singham Again is a mega-budget film and the makers are weighing all the pros and cons before taking the final call. There is an analysis going on to determine the pros and cons of November 1 V/s November 15 release. A final call on the release date will be taken in the next 24 hours, but the matter of fact is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will be a competitor today due to horror comedies being the talk of the town. If Stree 2 with Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao can do Rs. 600 crores, then the sky is the limit for a much bigger franchise with Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri.”
