Bajirao Mastani not being postponed

For the past few days rumors have been rife that Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical opus 'Bajirao Mastani' has been postponed from scheduled December 18 release date. While few newspapers have stated that the reason behind the postponement was the due to delay in the shooting, others have said that marketing team behind the project freaked out when they came to know that Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty’s second collaboration Dilwale was scheduled for release on the same date. But a spokesperson from the film’s co-producers Eros International has denied the rumors and stated that, "We are gearing up for a December 18 release and theatres are being blocked accordingly. The trailer will be coming out soon.” A source close to Sanjay Leela Bhansali added, “The film is being shot on a war footing, pun intended. There are many never-seen-before war scenes, dances and dramatic confrontations. But Sanjay is on schedule. In fact, he didn’t even know about Shah Rukh’s plans or that there was talk of the film being postponed.”
