Mumbai: As Baahubali - The Beginning and Bajrangi Bhaijaan continue to garner enormous response at the box office, actor Riteish Deshmukh said that it's the "right call by the producers" to shift the release date of his forthcoming comedy Bangistan to August 7, as the film "should get a fair chance".
"The fact is that Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan are doing great business at the box office. I think it was the right call by the producers. A film should get a fair chance. If it is better for the film, then why not? I feel that by postponing the film by one week, probably we'll have a better showcasing," Riteish said at a promotional event to launch an exclusive food store for the film.
While SS Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali has already broken several records at the box office, Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan too collected more than Rs 200 crores since its release on July 17.
Directed by Karan Anshuman, Bangistan, which was mostly shot in Poland and Ladakh, is about two suicide bombers, Hafeez Bin Ali alias Ishwarchand Sharma (Riteish) and Allah Rakha Khan alias Praveen Chaturvedi (Pulkit), who have been brainwashed into an explosive mission but eventually realise the death wish is futile exercise.
