It's going to be a face-off between Kangana Ranaut-starrer 'Mental hai Kya' and Hrithik Roshan starrer 'Super 30', as both the film are scheduled to release on July 26.

Hours after Ekta Kapoor announced the revised release date of 'Mental hai Kya', the makers of 'Super 30' have confirmed that they have not made any changes in the release date and the film will hit the big screens on July 26.

Earlier today, filmmaker Ekta Kapoor announced that the release date of Kangana Ranaut-starrer 'Mental hai Kya' has been pushed from June 21 to July 26, which is the same date when Hrithik's Super 30 is scheduled to hit the screens.

Understanding that the film will clash with the Hrithik's upcoming project, Ekta had Tweeted a statement clarifying that the shift in the release date is a decision taken after recommendations from the distributors, trade analysts and a top research team, "keeping in mind the other releases a week before and after this date."

"This is a call taken by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji telefilms considering better prospects for the movie at the box office," the statement read.

In response to Ekta's statement, filmmakers of 'Super 30' confirmed that they have not made any changes in the release date.

"Here comes the *OFFICIAL* confirmation about #Super30... No, the Hrithik Roshan starrer is *not* postponed/pushed ahead... The release date remains the same: 26 July 2019," trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted.

Hrithik had announced that his film would release on July 26, back in January.
