Here Bhansali must be hoping to claim more and more single and multiplex screens for his release so that he could get his share of pie.
Meanwhile, the film's opening has been a subject of speculation ever since it was announced. While Salman and his director brother Sohail Khan initially planned to ready it for an Eid release, it was soon obvious that the star would not be able to complete the film on time owing to health problems.
Salman has been barred from keeping a hectic schedule because of a chronic pain condition (Trigeminal Neuralgia) he has been battling for a few years now.
But as it turns out, two schedules of the film - shot in Dubai and Kolhapur - had already been completed by Saturday, when Sohail locked November 22 as Mental's release date.
