SRK Vacates; Akki Rushes In To Tread

Karan Johar's Brothers (the official remake of Warriors) starring Akshay Kumar-Sidharth Malhotra will now hit the theatres on August 14.

Aditya Chopra has postponed his Shah Rukh Khan starrer Fan, which was supposed to release on the same date.

Earlier, Brothers was supposed to release in October. Then there were reports that it will make it to the theatres in July. 

Karan got a call from Aditya asking him if he would like to release Brothers in his slot which he would like to vacate. 

What made Aditya change his mind is a mystery. At one point, Aditya had even contemplated to release Fan in July during Eid. The shoot of Fan was believed to have been proceeding at decent speed.

After Karan tweeted about the new release date of Brothers, Akshay and Sidharth followed suit. 







No prizes for guessing that the trio is very excited having got the Independence Day weekend. Last year, Ajay Devgn starrer Singham 2 released on August 14 and amassed Rs 150 crore worldwide.
