Parineeti is my family.

So go and enjoy the movies.”
Not many know that the Chopra sisters’ films were slated to clash on another date earlier. Initially, SDR was scheduled to release on September 13. And Zanjeer was also set for a date with ticket windows at that time.
But Priyanka intervened and convinced the makers of her film to release it a week earlier. In a coincidental twist of fate, SDR also preponed its date by a week after the film was selected for the Toronto Film Festival.
Interestingly, even as the two films clash at the box office, more Chopra cousins wait in the wings to enter Bollywood. Meera will make her debut in Satish Kaushik’s Gang of Ghosts while Barbie Handa will also be seen in a Hindi film soon.
