Mumbai: The makers of the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer ‘Anek’, have changed the release date of the film to avert a clash with YRF’s ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ which stars Ranveer Singh. An Anubhav Sinha directorial, ‘Anek’ which was earlier scheduled to release on May 13th, will now hit theatres on May 27th. Aditya Chopra and YRF’s CEO Akshaye Widhani, Bhushan Kumar, and Anubhav Sinha recently spoke and arrived at a common consensus to avoid a clash.
Director-producer Anubhav Sinha who is working with Ayushmann for the second time in the film after their last successful collaboration of ‘Article 15’, said in a statement, “A lot of hard work and planning goes into the making of a film and by that principle, it deserves undivided attention. We were happy to shift the release of ‘Anek’ by a few days so that audiences can now enjoy both films in a spaced-out manner.”
The move has resulted in the attachment of the trailer of ‘Anek’ with ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’, making it the first non-YRF film trailer to be attached to a YRF film. With this move, both ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ and ‘Anek’ will receive their fair share of audience attention. As a gesture, the trailer of ‘Anek’ will now attached to ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’, making it the first non-YRF film trailer to be attached to a YRF film.” ‘Anek’ has been jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Anubhav Sinha’s Benaras Mediaworks.
