Akshay Kumar avoids twin clashes – one with Aamir Khan, another with himself

Mumbai : Minutes after Akshay Kumar announced postponement of the release date of his upcoming movie 'Bachchan Pandey', people on social media started making memes on how he has decided to clash with his own upcoming movie 'Bell Bottom'. 

Before things could have gone far, Akshay Kumar made it clear that the date has not been postponed for just one movie; instead 'Bell Bottom' release date has also been pushed further.

Just an hour after the Bachchan Pandey announcement, Akshay tweeted: "I know there are enough memes out there about me clashing with myself one day but January 22, 2021, is not that day. Bell Bottoms will now release on April 2, 2021."

Reportedly, Akshay Kumar pushed the release date of Bachchan Pandey to avoid a clash with Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. The latter expressed his gratitude for the kind gesture and wrote, "Sometimes all it takes is one conversation. Thank you to my friends Akshay Kumar and Sajid Nadiadwala for their warm gesture of moving the release date of their film Bachchan Pandey at my request. I wish them the very best for their film. Looking forward to it. Love, A."

Akshay responded with a new poster of Bachchan Pandey, writing: "Anytime Aamir, we're all friends here. Presenting - new look, new release date. Coming on January 22, 2021."
