Rakesh Roshan reveals why he couldn’t shift ‘Kaabil’ release date

With the clash between ‘Raees’ and ‘Kaabil’ creating much buzz, Rakesh Roshan has admitted that it was due to him being superstitious why he did not change the release date of ‘Kaabil’.

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Roshan revealed, “Once SRK suggested to me that I should shift my date. I told him I couldn’t because I am superstitious. During King Uncle, I had pushed the release earlier by four weeks because of my daughter Sunaina’s wedding and the film flopped. After that I have never shifted the original date.”

Rakesh added, “I explained this to SRK and pointed out to him that if I didn’t shift the release then when my son was still a debutant and there was so much at stake, I wouldn’t now. I told them to move Raees two weeks ahead or release it two weeks before. They hadn’t even announced their date at that point. But now that they have decided to come on the same date as us, it is fine. Both the films together will do a business of Rs 300 crore. What is my destiny will not change!”
