It's official: Aamir Khan's PK set to release on December 19

Christmas season seems to spell magic for Aamir Khan's films and continuing with the trend, the makers of his upcoming film P.K. have decided to release it about a week before X-Mas

"Vinod Chopra Films and Rajkumar Hirani Films, in association with Disney India, confirm that P.K. shall release on Dec 19, 2014," said a statement. 

The political satire was slated to release in June this year but it got delayed. Hirani, who is also directing the film, had earlier said that most of Aamir's films release during Christmas and they have done well.  

The superstar's blockbusters like Dhoom:3, 3 Idiots and Taare Zameen Par had hit screens around Christmas.  

P.K. also features actor Sanjay Dutt, Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput.
