Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and Akshay Kumar's 'Bachchan Pandey' were slated for Christmas 2020 release. The 'Dangal' actor has requested Akshay Kumar and producer Sajid Nadiawala to postpone the release of 'Bachchan Pandey' to avert a clash at the Box Office. The makers have heeded to his request and announced a new release date for the film as well. Aamir Khan has thanked the team for their warm gesture on social media. 

Sometimes all it takes is one conversation. 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.
