Why Padmaavat?
Akshay Kumar has joined Sanjay Leela Bhansali in his fight with the groups protesting release of Padmaavat. Now that the Supreme Court has given green signal to Padmaavat, Bhansali isn’t interested in waiting for a single day. Akshay Kumar supported Bhansli saying that Padmaavat needs a favor and that the Bollywood fraternity should stand united against the resistance from groups with personal agenda.
Could be PadMan be rescheduled?
Speculations are rife regarding rescheduling of Pad Man as the 9 February is already booked for Aiyaary and it is learnt that Manoj Bajpayee, the lead actor of Aiyarry, is quite unhappy with Akshay Kumar choosing February 9 for Pad Man. The movie Aiyaary has been in the eye of storm since beginning. First it was clashing with 2.0 that is also an Akshay Kumar movie and now it’s Akshay again.
The team Aiyaari that involves Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth Malhotra isn’t happy with Akshay Kumar as it was Aiyarri that paved way for smooth release of Pad Man on Republic Day. Now the ball is in the court of Aiyaari but they’ve yet to open their cards.
Social media buzz
As soon as the news of Pad Man releasing on 9 February broke, Aiyaari supports came out in open and demanded the movie be released on its schedule day that is Republic Day. Sidharth even tweeted that Aiyaari was made to be released on 26 January and not on any other day.
It has become Akshay Kumar v/s Manoj Bajpayee on Twitter but it seems that Aiyaari fans are quite worried about the clash.
