Triple clash between Akshay, Deols and John on Independence Day averted, here's how

Picking the right release date can make or break a film. And Independence Day is an especially important occasion in this regard. This year, three films are scheduled to release that week Akshay Kumar’s Gold, John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate and the Deols’ Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se.

But seeing the competition they’re up against, the makers of YPD Phir Se have changed their minds and postponed the film’s release date to August 31.

In an official statement, Sunny Deol says, “Since August 15 has two patriotic films Gold and Satyameva Jayate which are topical for the day, and on August 24 our family friend Anil Sharma’s son is being launched, so we have decided to release YPD Phir Se, which is a wholesome family entertainer, two weeks later on August 31, 2018.”
