Umrao Jaan not postponed : Bollywood News

The gossip mills are working overtime. Their latest creation is that J.P. Dutta has postponed the release date of his Abhishek-Ash starrer UMRAO JAAN from October 20 to November 24 because J.P. didnt want to clash with the two biggies [DON, JAAN-E-MANN] that are slated for release on October 20, the Diwali/Idd week. What rubbish! J.P.s tone says it all, Its all speculation. I havent postponed UMRAO JAAN, nor will I do so. Like I said earlier, the Idd week is crucial for my film. And why should I postpone my film to a latter date? I have already completed the film, so why delay it? October 20 is the date for UMRAO JAAN. That clears it: Its DON versus JAAN-E-MANN versus UMRAO JAAN this Diwali/Idd.
