The makers of Akshay Kumar starrer Pad Man has now decided to shift the release date of the film from 26th January to 9th February.
There are now specific reasons why the makers have decided for such a bold step after aggressive promotions already scheduled for the film in the coming days. But many speculate that the decision was made in regard to avoid a big clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat.

Padmaavat starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor finally got a green light for the release of the film on January 15 to get a worldwide release on January 25 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
Initially the two films were supposed to release on the same date thus clashing at the box office. But due to some reasons unknown, the film is now all set to release on February 9 alongside its former competitor, Aiyaary.
R Balki’s biopic drama is now scheduled to clash with Neeraj Pandey’s espionage thriller, Aiyaary, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee in the lead. Interestingly the two films were supposed to release on January 26 but due to the release of much awaited film Padmaavat, the course of action was changed for both of the films.
With that being said, Padmaavat is all set to get its solo release on January 25 while Aiyaary and Pad Man will clash in what is touted to be as one of the first biggest clashes of 2018.
