This is happening as Shahrukh's Billoo Barber, which was set for a Diwali release on October 24th is now postponed for a November 14th release and ending up clashing along with Karan Johar's Dostana which is all set to come on the same day. The exact reason for this postponement has been not known yet.
Interestingly both the films have friendship as the common theme. Billoo Barber is based on two friends - one a super star (SRK) and the other a poor barber (Irrfan Khan) staying in a remote village.
Billoo Barber feature Shahrukh opposite two heroines - Deepika and Kareena Kapoor whereas Lara Dutta plays Irrfan's wife. The hot item song picturised on Kareena and Shah Rukh is supposed to be the highlight of the film.
Karan Johar produced and his assistant Tarun Mansukhani directed Dostana is also based on two best friends. John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan play these friends who are willing to do anything for one another.
The movie stars Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol as the lead stars. The flick also has one hot song featuring the gorgeous Shilpa Shetty seen dancing on the beaches of Miami along John and Abhishek.
