Dear Zindagi is scheduled to clash with Kahaani 2 this November.
The 25 November release date was initially booking by Sujoy Ghosh for the release of the sequel to the hit thriller, Kahaani. The sequel stars Vidya Balan and Arjun Rampal. It will be interesting to see if the two films go up against each other at the Box Office or if the makers rejig the dates so as to avoid a clash.
