Sonakshi Sinha considers Eid to be a lucky date for a film release. Her debut film Dabangg released on Eid in 2010 and went on to become one of the biggest hits of all time.
Now she has asked the makers of her next release Lootera to release the film on Eid yet again. However,the problem is that Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger also releases on the festival day.
A source reveals, "Sonakshi has asked producers Ekta Kapoor and Vikas Bahl to get an Eid release date for Lootera. She feels it's an auspicious date and is insisting they lock it for her film with Ranveer Singh."
Since Salman has already secured the Eid date with ETT, the makers have planned to bring it out on another Eid holiday (Bakri Eid on October 26). The source adds, "There was no way Sonakshi would want to have a release the same date as Salman. It would not only affect the box-office performance of Lootera but also send out a wrong signal. With both the films securing Eid dates, the problem has been sorted."
