This has come as a surprise as in the past the makers of 'pk' and 'Bombay Velvet' were at loggerheads over the release date, both being keen on a Christmas release.
Later, 'Bombay Velvet' was slated to be released earlier in November to avoid a clash with 'pk'. Now that Anurag Kashyap's film will release only in May 2015, it looks like the past animosity is indeed history.
