MNS' public stance against 'Chennai Express' goes back to a meeting between him and Jeetendra, whose daughter Ekta Kapoor has positioned herself as a formidable adversary to Shetty and SRK. Both films ('Chennai Express' and 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobaara') had been eyeing the coveted Eid weekend slot, till Ekta bowed out of the competition. And contrary to what was circulated in the media, it was not SRK who requested Jeetendra to shift the release date.
