Ever since Kangana Ranaut’s Mental Hai Kya announced his release date (that clashes with Super 30) much has been written about the animosity and years-old fued between Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan. Kangana’s sister Rangoli bombarded Hrithik with verbal attack and accused him of orchestrating a PR campaign against Kangana’s film.  However, the Super 30 producer, Madhu Mantena, jumped to Hrithik’s defense saying, “He has nothing to do with the release date of Super 30. Throughout the making of our film, Hrithik has been a thorough professional, never interfering in any of the trade-related decisions. Nor did Hrithik interfere with the direction or any other aspect of the film.”

However, the actor has issued a public statement on his social media revealing that he has now asked his producers to change the release date to save “himself from trauma”. In the statement, Hrithik has expressed, “So as to not allow my film to be desecrated by yet another media circus, I have decided to shift the release date of my film SUPER30 in order to save myself from the personal trauma and toxic mental violence this would cause.  Despite the film being ready, I have requested my producers to shift and announce the next suitable date as soon as possible.  Over the past few years, to my utter dismay, I have been witness to a lot of us cheering and encouraging what was/is an open and blatant case of harassment.  I must even now, wait patiently and silently for the collective consciousness of society to take cognizance of such matters in order to maintain our faith in the civility of our society. This unrelenting helplessness must end”.
