Thursday, 14th Aug 2014, 5:20 PM IST 'Daawat-e-Ishq' release date has been shifted to September 19 from September 5. The film's lead actress Parineeti Chopra has stated that she is not responsible for the delay. "This is the producer's decision, Adi's (Aditya Chopra) decision. The marketing team at Yash Raj Films came up with a brilliant marketing idea and they needed time to execute it," the 25-year-old clarified on Tuesday at an event. "A September 5 release was very early and even a week's delay didn't leave us enough time for the promotional strategy. So, we pushed it ahead by two weeks," she added. However,the news that was doing the rounds is that she wanted to avoid competition from her sister, Priyanka Chopra whose film, ‘Mary Kom’ releases on September 5th. "Why would I tell Adi and why would he listen to me? I don't have that kind of power and it's absolutely ridiculous," Parineeti said in her defense, to quell rumours. She further explained that Priyanka is a senior actress and there cannot be any competition between them. "She is my sister and I love her. I have no plans to fight with her or compete with her. She is a senior actress and a lot ahead of me, I can never compete with her," she concluded. |
