Balaji Motion Pictures’ romantic drama Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again, which was earlier scheduled to release on 8th August along with Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express, will release on Thursday, 15^th August, 2013 (Independence Day).

Shah Rukh Khan spoke to veteran actor Jeetendra and a meeting was held between Jeetendra, UTV and Shah Rukh Khan to resolve the situation of both the movies releasing together, and find a win-win situation for all.

“Keeping in mind that both weekends (8^th Aug and 15^th Aug) are good times for film releases, Jeetendra sir being the senior most showed the path. He took the decision to move OUATIM Dobara to 15^th August. This is extremely graceful of him. UTV, Rohit and I are very happy with the decision made and we thank Jeetu sir and Balaji for the same. This should pave the way for such mature and sensible amicable understandings whenever two films release on the same day in future too,” says Shah Rukh Khan.

“My father and Shah Rukh spoke and have clearly worked out what is best for both the films. Both are big and keenly awaited and should not be made to eat into each other’s business. I have huge respect for SRK and wish him the best,” says Ekta Kapoor.
