Shah Rukh's next postponed

Seems like we've officially had the first big casualty of the ongoing multiplex-producer battle. The release of Shah Rukh Khan's next, My Name is Khan might just be postponed to the early part of next year.

Yup, you heard it right! A little birdie tells me that Shah Rukh Khan has no intentions of bearing the brunt of the ever-changing release dates of all movies.

Thanks to the shuffling in the release schedules, a lot of major producers are trying to scuttle around and find 'safe Fridays' to release their films. Add to that there is the concern of cutting into each other's business.

So Shah Rukh Khan who was initially supposed to release his film around December will now let Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots and Saif Ali Khan's Qurbaan fight it amongst themselves.

Shah Rukh, I am given to believe, is looking at releasing the film some time in early 2010. What a relief, at least we'll have something to look forward to in the new year!
