Arbaaz Khan was in for a rude surprise when he woke up to the 'news' making rounds about 'Dabangg 2' getting pushed to March next year. The delay was attributed to the film's shooting still being on as 40% of it is still remaining.

It was also being stated that after Salman Khan and Aamir Khan deliberated on these changes, it was also decided that 'Talaash' would now push ahead.

This means that instead of its originally planned 30th November release, the film was now supposed to occupy Aamir's favourite Christmas slot by arriving on 21st December, the slot left vacant now due to (apparent) moving ahead of 'Dabangg 2'.

"This is bizarre", says Arbaaz in a defiant role, "There is no change in plan and we are arriving as scheduled on 21st December.

There is no delay in the film schedule's either and we are on track. Yes, 40% of the film's shoot is left but we have dates already allocated for that. In fact we resume the film's shoot in a week from now."

He is particularly surprised that Aaamir's 'Talaash' came into the picture as well.

"I have no idea who is gossip monger behind this. May be some idle mind is just playing mischief. We are on target and anything and everything else that you hearing are plain rumours. 21st December is final for 'Dabangg 2'", he states.

Guess that should set the record straight.
