After Pankaj Kapur decided to postpone the release of Mausam to September 9, Singham was supposed to be the solo release on July 22. However, now the Ajay Devgan-starrer will face some competition from Esha Deol’s comeback venture, Tell Me O Kkhuda.
Earlier, Tell Me O Kkhuda was scheduled to release around September. But Hema Malini was quick to realise the fact that she should not take the risk of releasing her daughter’s comeback movie with the likes of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Mausam and Rockstar. The decision to pre-pone the release date was taken after a meeting between Hema Malini and the film’s co-producers. It was felt that Tell Me O Kkhuda is a family drama film whereas Singham is an action flick. Both the films, being of different genres, have the potential of attracting their desired audiences.
Hema is quoted as saying: “We are trying to work our way into July 22. The other film (Singham) is completely different from ours. After that Ramzan starts and then for Eid there are other big films lined up. So we would have to wait for September if we don't release on July 22.”
So, is it a smart move to clash a comeback movie with Ajay’s much awaited movie? Well, time will tell you oh Esha.
