As Kangana Ranaut's 'Mental Hai Kya' and Hrithik Roshan's 'Super 30' are all set to clash at box-office on July 26, Ekta Kapoor took to her Twitter handle to say that she has promised to keep it clean. She wrote: "The ugly underground tweets have begun. I‘ve promised to keep it clean and have assurances from my actors on the same. 
I hope personal assaults on them stop, because it’s my decision & Not theirs." [sic]

Tagging Ekta's post, Rangoli Chandel, Kangana Ranaut's spokesperson and sister took to Twitter handle and tagged Hrithik Roshan in few of her tweets. Here's what she said -

In January, Hrithik announced that his film "Super 30" will release on July 26. The decision was taken after director Vikas Bahl was accused of sexual assault by a woman who worked under the now dissolved Phantom Films. 

Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures, producer of "Mental Hai Kya", said that the clash is not deliberate and they have decided to push the release date from June 21 to July 26 "after the recommendations from distributors, trade analysts and their research team".

"We have been advised to shift the release of our movie to July 26, purely for the business prospects. On knowing, that there is already a movie scheduled for a release on that date, we did it all in our purview to ensure that there will be no mud slinging and it will be dignified release. We stand by assuring that to all other parties," the statement from the production banner read. 

Soon after the announcement, various online entertainment portals and social media users started labelling the change in release date deliberate. 

Ekta took to Twitter to condemn the reports. 

"My decision my film... So all brickbats directed to me please. I'm my own person," she wrote.
