We were racing against time: 'Kochadaiiyaan' co-producer

Co-producer Murali Manohar talks about the delay in the release of the much-awaited Rajnikanth starrer 'Kochadaiiyaan'

Mumbai: The release date of 'Kochadaiiyaan' has been pushed ahead once again. The team was racing against time, says its co-producer Murali Manohar.

The movie was due to release Friday, but it has now been rescheduled to hit the screens on May 23.

When asked to explain the unexpected turn of events, Manohar said: "Yes, unfortunately we are not ready to release this Friday. We were racing against time."

The news, though a big blow to eager Rajnikanth fans, comes as welcome respite to the six other Hindi releases this week - 'Hawaa Hawaai', 'Khwabb', 'Mastram', 'Koyelaanchal', 'Manjunath' and 'Yeh Hai Bakrapur'.
