But no one knows why Aetbaar is adamant about coming on the same Friday as the mammoth Khakee. Here’s the inside info. Unfortunately Tata Infomedia who have produced Aetbaar are disinvesting their shares. The company has been bought over by a multinational.

Unfortunately Khakee got delayed, not because of LOC or Kal Ho Na Ho but be- cause it wasn’t ready. It is a fully digitised film and the process took time. Mr Bachchan asked the Khakee producer Keshu Ramsay to make adjustments. He even at- tended a joint meeting be- tween the two producers. But nothing happened.
