'Super Nani' pushed forward to avoid clash with Shah Rukh Khan: Director

Mumbai: Director Indra Kumar, who was planning to release his ‘Super Nani’ during Diwali, has pushed the release date forward to avoid a clash with Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Happy New Year’.

A small-budget drama, ‘Super Naani’ was scheduled for an Oct 24 release, but now the film starring Rekha, Sharman Joshi, and Anupam Kher, among others, will be released Oct 31.

"We have postponed our film and there are several reason behind this. One of the major reasons to push the film was that we want to avoid the clash with Shah Rukh Khan," Kumar said.

Director Farah Khan's big-budget multi-starrer ‘Happy New Year’ is expected to hit the screens during the Diwali week.
