Shah Rukh moves Billoo Barber release, doesn’t want to battle Salman Khan

You must have read the news about Shah Rukh Khan moving the release of his home production Billoo Barber from November to early 2009… well now we can give you the reason behind it… Salman Khan!

Apparently, Shah Rukh got a little worried about Salman Khan’s big budget flick Yuvraaj releasing around the same time in November, if not the same day… this gave him the jitters… what with Akshay Kumar already bagging hit after hit, coming on the wrong side of a Salman Khan sure-fire hit would be disastrous for Shah Rukh. Therefore, he immediately decided to postpone the release of Billoo Barber to 2009.

Says an industry insider, “Shah Rukh doesn’t prominently feature in Billoo Barber and only has a guest role, while Yuvraaj will see Salman Khan opposite flavour of the moment Katrina Kaif and has been directed by hit film maker Subhash Ghai. Had it been any film, like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, we are pretty sure Shah Rukh would not have changed the release date and let the battle go ahead.”

What are your thoughts on this… do you think Shah Rukh has been wise and has done the right thing… would a box office battle between him and Salman Khan not be the right thing at this time… what with their recent arguments… or should Shah Rukh have stuck with the initial release date and gone ahead and done battle… after all there is no one like Shah Rukh and Salman would have lost out… whatever your views we would love to read them… please use the comments section below to send them to us and fellow readers.
