New Delhi: Bollywood is ready to witness a major clash of titans at the Box Office as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmavati and Akshay Kumar's Padman are releasing on January 25, 2018.
While Akki preponed his film by a day to avoid a clash with Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth Malhotra starrer Aiyaary, it will now face SLB's period drama. Padmavati finally got a release date and the same was announced on Twitter by noted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

As a result of this, Aiyaary release date too has been pushed ahead and will now hit the screens on February 9, 2018. Wait, this jigsaw puzzle of who is clashing with whom at the ticket window does not stop here.

The makers of Manoj Bajpayee-starrer Aiyaary, earlier slated to be released on January 26, have decided to postpone its release to February 9. Asked about the possible clash with Padmavat, Jayantilal Gada, one of the producers of Aiyaary, told PTI, "We will move our release date to February 9."
Aiyaary is now all set to clash with Luv Ranjan's rom-com Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety on the same date unless the latter decides to push his film ahead.
