With the biggies shuffling their release dates, Aditya Chopra is sticking to his release date of December 9 for his Ranveer Singh-Vaani Kapoor-starrer Befikre.

There had been buzz that his buddy Shah Rukh Khan's film Raees was angling for that date till they decided on a Republic Day 2017 release. Come what may, the reticent Adi would not budge.

December 9 marks the first birthday of his and wifey Rani Mukerji's bundle of joy, Adira. This will be the filmmaker's birthday gift to his daughter.
