Diwali 2021: Alia Bhatt to Priyanka Chopra: Here's how Bollywood celebs celebrated festival of lights

Did Rohit Shetty personally request &nbsp;Salman Khan to shift the release date of the latter’s 'Antim: The &nbsp;Final &nbsp;Truth' to a post-Diwali Friday? 
 
Sources say Salman was keen for a Diwali release, despite the fact that Akshay Kumar's 'Sooryavanshi' was releasing around the same time. Apparently, Salman felt there was enough room for two big releases this Diwali. 
 
But 'Sooryavanshi' &nbsp;director &nbsp;Rohit Shetty went over to &nbsp;Salman’s house and asked Salman to shift his film’s release date. Salman’s 'Antim', the film that features the superstar with his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma, will now release on 26 November.

By agreeing to reschedule his film Salman was only repaying a debt to Shetty.
