Sudhir Mishra wants to avoid a showdown with good friend Prakash Jha's upcoming political thriller Chakravyuh at the box-office and so has postponed the release of his film Inkaar.
The film is set to release on January 18 and contrary to speculations, the reason behind choosing this date is to make sure that there is a proper gap between Sudhir's film and Prakash Jha's Arjun Rampal-Abhay Deol film, which releases on October 12.
The two films, both starring Arjun Rampal, were supposed to release on the same date. Given Mishra's closeness to Jha and Arjun being a part of both films, it was decided to postpone Inkaar.
Sudhir Mishra was quoted saying that they needed an open week for a film like Inkaar and that with big films releasing in the remaining three months of the year, they decided on January.
Inkaar, Mishra's directorial next after Yeh Saali Zindagi, stars Arjun Rampal along with Chitrangda Singh.
