Sajid Nadiadwala’s Highway, directed by Imtiaz Ali and starring Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda, is also set for a December 13th release. In order to avoid a clash, Nadiadwala met with Dedh Ishqiya director Vishal Bharadwaj and asked if he would consider shifting the release date of his film. Bharadwaj agreed, and so now Dedh Ishqiya will release on January 31st, 2014.
