Karan johar wanted the date for the release of one of his films on 31st july as the shoot would be over before the scheduled time but realized that Akshay already has that date for the release of his home production film.
That's when he decided to have a word with Akshay (who also stars in the Warrior remake), to move his film to the October 2 weekend.
Karan Johar confirms the news that : The team BROTHERS is truly forging ahead....the pace and energy of the shoot has been incredible...we have actually decided to prep one our release to July 31st...ashvini and Akshay have graciously given us that date and we have given them our previous date of October 2nd...in days of delays and strictly professional dealings this situation is truly a fraternity feature and validates the fact that strong relationships can exist even today
