Hrithik Roshan announced on Thursday he was shifting the release date of "Super 30" to save his film from being "desecrated by yet another media circus" but Kangana Ranaut alleged that he was in on the decision from the beginning.

Though he did not name Kangana in his statement, which was posted on Twitter, Hrithik made it clear that the decision was taken due to their long-standing ugly public feud.

"So as to not allow my film to be desecrated by yet another media circus, I have decided to shift the release date of my film 'Super 30' in order to save myself from the personal trauma and toxic mental violence this would cause.

"Despite the film being ready, I have requested my producers to shift and announce the next suitable date as soon as possible," Hrithik wrote.

"Mental Hai Kya" recently shifted its release date to July 26, only to coincide with the theatrical arrival of "Super 30" but producer Ekta Kapoor said the decision had nothing to do with Kangana's equation with Hrithik.

In her response, Kangana said in a statement, "Hrithik Roshan, Madhu Mantena and Ekta Kapoor had collectively decided that Hrithik would push 'Super 30's release date and Ekta will bring her film MHK on 26th July."
