Chopra versus Chopra clash averted 
By Taran Adarsh, June 8, 2006 - 09:22 IST
The clash of the two cousins -- Ravi Chopra [BAABUL] and Aditya Chopra [DHOOM 2] -- has been averted. Both BAABUL and DHOOM 2 were slated for release on October 20. But Ravi, the elder brother, has decided to opt out of the race. “There’re already two biggies [DHOOM 2, DON] in the fray on October 20. There’s no point cutting into each other’s pie. Hence, I’ve decided to schedule BAABUL after Diwali,” Ravi Chopra informs me.
The release date of a few more significant films has undergone a change…
- Three debutante directors will clash on July 21 now: YUN HOTA TOH KYA HOTA… WHAT IF? [Naseeruddin Shah], THE KILLER [Hasnain-Raksha] and AHISTA AHISTA [Shivam Nair].
- NAKSHA, which was slated for July release initially, will now lock horns with JAANEMANN on August 25.
- Meanwhile, MUNNABHAI 2ND INNINGS, which was slated for August 25 release, might be shifted ahead by one week.
- Sooraj R. Barjatya has finally decided on the release date of VIVAH. “It’s November 10,” Rajat Barjatya confirms.
