'Raincoat' postponed because of Ajay Devgan

It came as a surprise when for no apparent reason the Ajay-Aishwarya starrer ´Raincoat´ was postponed from October 22 to November 26. According to our sources the postponement was because of Ajay Devgan.

Apparently Devgan who has not had a release for a long time wanted ´Raincoat´ to release at least 4 to 5 weeks away from ´Bride & Prejudice´ because of obvious comparisons due to Aishwarya featuring in both the movies.

The director Rituparno Ghosh who was not very happy with the development initially, now feels that it is indeed a blessing in disguise. Ghosh also says that ´Raincoat´ won't be affected by ´Musafir´ though it releases on the same day because "it has a totally different setup."
