Clash averted

With JAB WE MET getting shifted to October 26 and UTV also locking the same date for DHAN DHANA DHAN… GOAL, it looked like the week would witness the clash of two real-life couples. While JAB WE MET stars Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor, GOAL re-unites John Abraham and Bipasha Basu on the big screen. But the clash has been averted…

UTV has decided to shift GOAL to November 23, not for of any other reason, but because the post-production work is still pending. Confirms Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV, “The post is taking more time than we anticipated. Since the film has shaped up wonderfully well, we didn’t want to hurry up things just because we have to meet the deadline. November 23 seems more practical for GOAL.”

Meanwhile, UTV had acquired the global distribution rights of Firoz A. Nadiadwala’s comic caper WELCOME and are looking at bringing it on December 7.
