Om Shanti Om vs Saawariya

The diwali clash between Om Shanti Om and Saawariya may be avoided. The Diwali week is known to be best week for business but the producer of Saawariya Sanjay Leela Bhansali met with Shahrukh Khan and asked him to consider not releasing his Om Shanti Om on the same day as Saawariya.



Sanjay Leela Bhansali wants to avoid the clash because his film is budgeted at an estimated 40 crore and it's main leads are newcomers Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor who do not have face value as yet and it would be very risky to have a biggie like Om Shanti Om on the same day even if its the big diwali week.



After the meeting it is believed that King Khan has assured the Saawariya director he will make all efforts possible to make sure his film does not come on the same day as Saawariya.



Sources close to Shahrukh Khan say that "he has not set an exact date but we are looking at a release date between mid October and Nov 9th".



So in all possibilities it could be that Om Shanti Om could be pre opened and released late October and leaving Saawariya free for the diwali date


If it is confirmed that Om Shanti Om will not come on diwali it may make other makers exploit the date but obviously for Bhansali they will not be as tough opposition as Om Shanti Om.



It will be interesting to see how developments unfold as things may change depending on what sort of chain of theatres the makers can get on various dates.
