Krazzy competition

A still from U Me Aur Hum

Rakesh Roshan may not be too happy to release his next production Krazzy 4, featuring Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Suresh Menon, Dia Mirza and Juhi Chawla on April 11. The film is pitted against Ajay Devgan's directorial debut U, Me Aur Hum, which releases on the same day, and understandably Roshan Sr fears stiff competition.

Roshan Sr has already made customary calls to Ajay Devgan requesting him to delay his film by a week or so. However, Devgan wasn't in a mood to budge and decided against making any changes to the release date. A source close to the actor-turned-director informs, "Yes, Rakesh Roshan had requested Ajay to delay the release of his film by a few weeks. However, Ajay didn't want to compromise and clearly told the filmmaker that he wasn't in a position to make any changes."

Apparently, Devgan had already made marketing and distribution strategies ahead of the release of the film and any changes in the release date would have led to other problems, indicate sources. The story goes that there is immense expectation from U, Me Aur Hum as Devgan and wife Kajol are coming together in a film after almost eight years. An industry insider says, "Ajay and Kajol were last seen in Raju Chacha, which released in 2000. Obviously, most of their fans are eagerly waiting for this film. Krazzy 4 has to face competition in the coming days." By refusing Roshan to delay, it would be fair to say that Devgan ne Krazzy kiya re!
