With heavy rush of big movies coming in August, veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai has postponed his release date of his film Kaanchi from Aug 15 to Aug 30.

Ghai said, `I wanted to release it on 15th Aug because of a patriotic flavor to the love story of Kaanchi.

"Since there are two big releases on Eid - Shah Rukh Khan's 'Chennai Express' and Akshay Kumar's 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai 2', the single screens will be playing them for two weeks plus there are two other releases on 23rd, so I decided for 30th Aug as Kaanchi being a mass as well as class film will need multiplex and single screens both. And I am too happy and excited about the film I am shooting at present. `

Ghai is making Kaanchi with new leads, along with veteran actors Mithun Chakroborthy and Rishi Kapoor.

"Having a new cast has given me a huge responsibility as well as happiness that is as good as when I was making Hero (1983) or Karma (1986), ` he said.

`I know that people are really waiting for a big film from me with wholesome entertainment for every section of audience.

"Kaanchi has a great story with a message and fun and drama combined and great music to cherish, " the filmmaker said.

`I have recorded four songs by Ismail Darbar and Salim Suleman on the lyrics of Irshad Kamil and I can say today that it's going to be a big, blockbuster, music album on the day it will be released.

"My new heroine (Mishti) has done a fantastic job to take over the first row among stars of today. It's a larger-than-life film and production both and I am waiting for 30th August to show it to my audience, " said Ghai.
