We all know that Abhay Deol's stock is really high post Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara.
But did you know that the makers of his next film Shanghai are willing to take on none other than Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan himself, at the box office?
Trade sources say that Shanghai's release has been confirmed for Republic Day i.e. January 26, 2012. Apparently, this is the same date that was locked for Aamir Khan's next with Reema Kagti, rumored to be titled Dhuaan.
This news comes as quite a shocker because not many filmmakers dare to release their films at the same time as an Aamir Khan starrer.
However, the release timing of 'Shanghai' makes sense, as this is a political thriller and reflects the state of the country.
The viewers would be happy to have this kind of a bonanza on the coming Republic Day.
