Karan Johar’s Agneepath to release on 26 January
Mumbai : Karan Johar has decided to release his ambitious film Agneepath on 26 January. The producer took the decision going by reports that Reema Kagti’s Aamir Khan yet-to-be titled film will not release as originally planned on Repubic Day.
Both Kagti‘s film and Venus‘ multi-starrer Tezz were scheduled to release on 26 January 2012, but Kagti felt that post-production could take some time and, hence, postponed the release of the film to a later date.
With one slot open on the Republic Day weekend, Johar thought it best to release his film on Republic Day. This because the producer thought that he would be able to take advantage of the long weekend, with the film releasing on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the makers of Priyadarshan-directed film Tezz have confirmed that they are in no mood to change the release date of the film. Also to release on the same day is Dibakar Banerjee‘s Shanghai that stars Abhay Deol and Emraan Hashmi.
