Chennai Express blocks the way for Main Hoon Shahid Afridi in Pakistan

Following the overruling of an import ban on Indian movies in Pakistan, this Eid will see the release of Shah Rukh Khan’s Chennai Express in the country which has caused the delay of Main Hoon Shahid Afridi. The delaying decision has been taken by the Main Hoon Shahid Afridi makers to avoid a box-office clash with SRK-starrer Chennai Express.

MHSH`s writer Vasay Chaudhry expressed his regret that the most anticipated Pakistani film this year has been facing a postponement due to some last minute decisions. Earlier the movie had to be postponed because of film editor Azam Khan’s demise and the team had to travel abroad to carry on with the post-production process. But still the final prints were not ready on time. On the other hand, Shah Rukh was spotted partying with co-star Deepika Padukone in the Indian Capital.

While walking the red carpet at the event Shah Rukh, clad in his usual three-piece suit, looked worn out as he posed for the shutterbugs. He said, "I am exhausted as I have been out the whole day. But I am really excited about the movie and can't wait to see how the audience reacts to it.” By his side Deepika looked refreshing although in her knee length floral dress. She said, "I adore Shah Rukh. No one makes me more loved on movie sets than Shah Rukh.” The party, hosted by Audi Delhi Central, also saw the likes of director Rohit Shetty, Rashi Todd (Managing Director Audi – Delhi Central & Gurgaon), Mikey Todd, Kalyani Chawla Saha, Ayaan Ali Khan, Amaan Ali Khan, Rina Dhaka, Abraham, Rakesh Thakore and many others.
