Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has thanked his colleague Akshay Kumar for pushing his upcoming Hindi film Bachchan Pandey's release date to favour Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha.

Bachchan Pandey was about to release on Dec 25, the day on which Laal Singh Chaddha is releasing.

On Khan's request, Kumar pushed Bachchan Pandey's release date to Jan 22, 2021.

Thank you to my friends @akshaykumar & Sajid Nadiadwala for their warm gesture of moving the release date of their film Bachchan Pandey at my request. I wish them the very best for their film. Looking forward to it. Love.a"

Meanwhile Kumar has pushed the release date of his another film Bell Bottom, which was originally scheduled to release on Jan 22, 2021, to Apr 2, 2021, to avoid clashes with Bachchan Pandey.

The actor informed his fans on Twitter saying, "I know there are enough memes out there about me clashing with myself one day but 22nd January, 2021 is not that day #BellBottom will now release on 2nd April, 2021!"
