Shahrukh Khan Starrer 'Chennai Express' Release Date Shifted By 24 Hours!

Bollywood King Khan's fan have to wait more 24 hours to his first combo with Action and comedy combination master Rohit Shetty's  'Chennai Express'

Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Chennai Express' release date has been pushed by a day and the much awaited film will now hit theatres on August 9 to coincide with the festival of Eid.

The Rohit Shetty directed action-comedy also starring Deepika Padukone, was earlier set to hit theatres on August 8.

"We always wanted to come on Eid for 'Chennai Express' and now the festival will be celebrated on 9th, which also happens to be a holiday, so it makes sense to release the film on that day," Gaurav Verma, Director-India Theatrical Distribution Studios, Disney UTV, said in a statement.

'Chennai Express' and 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara' were to release on August 8 but producer Ekta Kapoor postponed the release date of the Akshay Kumar-starrer to August 15, after SRK requested veteran actor Jeetendra to avoid the box office clash.

Making Of Chennai Express One Two Three Four Song - Shahrukh Khan and Priyamani Try To Perfect The Foot-Tapping!

To make this rocking item number visually appealing, King Khan and the South hottie try to put their best foot forward and match up to the fast beats, and Rohit Shetty helps them achieve that!

Rohit Shetty’s much anticipated romcom, Chennai Express featuring Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone is releasing this Eid that is August 8. Probably for the first time, Rohit has incorporated a dhinchak tapori dance number in his film, considering the commercial aspects, maybe. In the making of this explosive dance number One two three four, the choreographer tells Rahul aka SRK to dance better and match steps with the fast beats (despite his shoulder injury). And the trio – Shahrukh, Deepika and Rohit are seen having loads of masti.

So far we’ve only heard of Rohit being a taskmaster on the sets but the video gives a very different story. Look how he’s enjoying playing pranks on his unit members including the cameraman standing next to Shahrukh and Dippy. From what we see, SRK is a thorough entertainer and charms people off the sets too. He’s seen joking and giggling with his co-star Priyamani as they rehearse the foot-tapping number. Watch the makers and actors of Chennai Express shoot for the high-energy song!
