Rajnikanth starrer Tamil film Kuselan's performance at the box-office has definitely affected Shahrukh Khan. Not wanting to take any chances, he has decided to postpone his production, Billoo Barber to 2009. Most of you are already aware that both films are based on a Malayalam hit.
Sources tell us, "Billoo Barber was confirmed for a Diwali 2008 release, but it is now going to come any time between January end to mid February. There are two songs to be shot and also there are some scenes that are being re-shot. SRK also making sure the length of his film is not very long unlike Kuselan which was 180 minutes long."
"One more reason for the postponement is that Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi directed by Aditya Chopra is slated for a December 12th release. SRK doesn't want to bring both his films almost together and end up overexposing himself. The industry talk is that Adi Chopra's film is a safer bet for SRK as Billoo Barber is unlike any previous Shahrukh Khan starrer. It is a very serious film and no one can predict its fate at the box office. The Yash Raj film however marks the return of Aditya Chopra to direction after a long gap of 8 years and is much more anticipated by SRK fans than Billoo Barber."
