It's a known trend by now that our much favorite star Salman Khan has constantly preferred eyeing on holiday releases, be it with the famous Eid festive or with his latest film Jai Ho hitting the screens on this year's Republic day! However, intending to follow this trait further, seems like now a few leading contemporaries too don't wish to give a miss at booking Salman's lucky dates of festive releases! While recently we had Salman's alleged rival Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster Chennai Express releasing on 2013 Eid, reports suggest that Akshay Kumar has now eyed on 2014 Republic day for his upcoming untitled action thriller! Yes you heard that right! Referring to the film's patriotic subject, sources suggest that Akshay is extremely keen to release this Neeraj Pandya film on republic day and has apparently also booked it well in advance! Whoa...with the industry Pandits suggesting January month to be unlucky for films, seems like Salman's lucky charm has stroke a chord with our B-townies!
