John Abraham wanted to release his next film on January 26, 2018 but when he heard that his good friend Akshay Kumar’s film was releasing on the same date, he backed off. John’s lined-up his production which will open on December 8. John has set the date because it offers him a clear two-week window and he won’t entertain any calls on the subject.
However he said, “I’ve moved enough for people, this time let them move their dates. January 26 would have been the ideal release date but two other films are already coming on Republic Day, including my friend Akshay Kumar’s 2.0 and he’d bash me up.” Now, that’s telling.
