Why Karan Johar Rescheduled Release of Akshay Kumar's Brothers

KJo says the energy of the shoot has been incredible

Mumbai:

Brothers, starring Akshay Kumar, which was initially set to release on Gandhi Jayanti next year has now been rescheduled to July 31. Karan Johar, who is co-producing the film, says the energy of the shoot has been incredible and that's why they took this step.

"The energy of the shoot has been incredible, so we have actually decided to reschedule our release to July 31," Karan said in a statement.

Brothers directed by Karan Malhotra, also features Sidharth Malhotra, Jacqueline Fernandez and Jackie Shroff.

The film is likely to be completed way before the originally scheduled release date. However, when KJo zeroed-in on July 31, he realised that Akshay had already decided to release his home production Singh Is Bling on that day.

KJo then had a word with Akshay and Ashvini Yardi of Grazing Goat Pictures, a production house co-founded with the actor and Twinkle Khanna, and they offered their July date to the filmmaker.

"Akshay and Ashvini have graciously given us that date and we have given them our previous date," added KJo.

Earlier Yardi revealed the development on Twitter.

"The Big Switch #singhisbling now releases on 2nd Oct 2015 n #brothers on 31st july 2015 @akshaykumar @karanjohar @GrazingGoatPix," he tweeted.
