From The Ring to Rehnuma to Raula, many titles were “confirmed” by different media houses regarding the same film, (we too were amongst them), but SRK has finally put an end to all rumors yesterday by announcing the name – Jab Harry Met Sejal.
The title is reminiscent of the iconic American romantic comedy starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, When Harry Met Sally. Jab Harry Met Sejal will hit screens on 4th August now, instead of 11th August. The film was set to lock horns with Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha at the box office. However, with the new release date, the clash has been averted.
