Insiders say Ekta finally paid heed to her well wishers, who reasoned that the films could eat into each other's profit, and decided to give the two films enough space to reach out to their respective audiences.

Sources close to Balaji say, a representation was made from the makers and stake holders of Chennai Express to Jeetendra, requesting him to reconsider the release date in the interest of both the films.
