Rubbishing reports that the new Salman Khan film Mental is releasing on November 22, Sohail Khan says, "That I am releasing the film on November 22 is news to me also. Now people are deciding for me when I'll release my film without my knowledge." Laughing off the rumours Sohail says he's aiming for a year-end release for Mental. "The way the shooting is going I might make it by the end of the year, Inshallah. But I haven't locked in on a date yet."

Sources close to the film say Salman and his brother Sohail aim to release in the middle of December, weeks ahead of Dhoom 3. Says the source, "Salman wants Mental to make it by December. But he won't let it clash with Dhoom 3. It stars two people who are very precious to him Aamir Khan and Katrina. He knows the Salman juggernaut would mow down every other film in sight. He won't do that to Dhoom 3."
