Shahrukh’s next postponed

Seems like we’ve officially had the first big
casualty of the ongoing multiplex-producer battle. The release of Shah Rukh
Khan’s next, My Name is Khan might just be postponed to the early part of next
year. Yup, you heard it right! A little birdie tells me that Shah Rukh Khan has
no intentions of bearing the brunt of the ever-changing release dates of all
movies. Thanks to the shuffling in the release schedules, a lot of major
producers are trying to scuttle around and find ’safe Fridays’ to release their
films.

Add to that there is the concern of cutting into
each other’s business. So Shah Rukh Khan who was initially supposed to release
his film around December will now let Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots and Saif Ali Khan’s
Qurbaan fight it amongst themselves.  Shah Rukh, I am given to believe, is
looking at releasing the film some time in early 2010. What a relief, at least
we’ll have something to look forward to in the new year!
