Writer-director Reema Kagti has quashed reports that the release of her Aamir Khan starrer 'Talaash' has been postponed because the film bears similarities with 'Kahaani'.

"I am rather surprised about these rumours.

We have moved the release of the film to November because we didn't want it to clash with Aamir's TV show but some chose to build their own stories. I have heard a lot about 'Kahaani'. Sujoy Ghosh is a good friend and I am sure it would be fantastic. But there is nothing that is similar about the two films," Kagti.

'Kahaani', starring Vidya Balan, is a thriller and the trailers of 'Talaash' also indicate that the film belongs to the same genre but Kagti believes that comparing the two films is too much.

She believes that the rumours started making the rounds after 'Talaash' release was postponed soon after the release of 'Kahaani'.

"Let 'Talaash' release and the film will speak for itself. People will realise on their own that there is no similarity whatsoever."

The film, a co-production of Aamir Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, has been in news ever since it was announced around two years back.

With Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji joining the cast, the film became all the more special. There is lot of curiosity about 'Talaash' because it is releasing almost three years after Aamir's '3 Idiots'.
