It’s finally confirmed! All along, there were whispers that JODHAA AKBAR wouldn’t make it in the Idd week [October 12], but UTV was hopeful that the film would hit the screens on the scheduled date. In fact, we did crosscheck with UTV on several occasions and till last week were told to maintain the same date.

But the colossal historical has finally moved ahead. As things stand today, the film would make it in December/January, not before that. Reportedly, a few days shooting is going on currently. “The new release date is yet to be locked,” Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV confirms.

Meanwhile, UTV has preponed the release date of DHAN DHANA DHAN… GOAL. The film was slated for release in December, but will arrive earlier, on October 26. Incidentally, another John Abraham starrer NO SMOKING is also arriving on this date. Will the two John starrers clash with each other, is to be seen.
