Hrithik Roshan shared a statement on social media revealing his decision to shift the release of his upcoming film Super 30 due to the controversy of it clashing with Kangana Ranaut starrer Mental Hai Kya. Hrithink said the decision was taken to save the film from being "desecrated by yet another media circus".
Though the actor did not name Kangana in his statement, posted on Twitter, Hrithik hinted at their long-standing ugly public feud.
“Despite the film being ready, I have requested my producers to shift and announce the next suitable date as soon as possible," he added
Mental Hai Kya recently shifted its release date only to coincide with the theatrical arrival of Super 30 on July 26 but producer Ekta Kapoor said the decision had nothing to do with Kangana's equation with Hrithik.
However, that did nothing to quell the rumours that the decision was taken at the behest of Kangana, a charge that her sister Rangoli Chandel has denied.
In his statement, Hrithik called the negativity surrounding the release of his film a "blatant case of harassment".
Kangana has made her own statement about Hrithik’s decision.
Hrithik and Kangana have a long and complicated history.
In 2016, Kangana claimed that they were in a relationship but Hrithik said it was not true. The fight became public after Hrithik sued her and Kangana counter-sued him.
