That's what you call a Clash of the Titans. Who would have imagined Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan will battle it out at the box office on the same day? Well, it's indeed happening. At least for now! Why?
Both YRF and Excel Entertainment have announced that their films- Sultan starring Salman Khan and Raees starring Shah Rukh Khan respectively - are eyeing for an Eid 2016 release.
If you remember it was only a few days back that Salman had gone on Twitter, thrashing all fans for the fan created wars between the three superstar Khans and even announced that he would rather quit Twitter if his fans decided to spread negativity about the other two Khans, who are also his friends. Cut to now and you have Salman and SRK battling for a release date. While it was rather speculated that one of them might budge and shift their release dates, that thought can now be thrown out of window. Here's why!
- ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Salman is yet to start shooting for Sultan, which will only begin in November this year, after he wraps up work on Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. On the other hand, SRK who was busy completing YRF's Fan decided to complete the first leg of shooting for Rahul Dholakia's Raees before he headed to Bulgaria to finish Rohit Shetty's Dilwale, that releases this Christmas. But the announcements for Raees' release was made in February earlier this year. Riteish Sidhwani had gone on Twitter to announce that Raees would be releasing on Eid next year. On the other hand, knowing Raees is eyeing a release on Eid 2016, YRF went ahead and unveiled a teaser promo, giving away the theme of Sultan along with its release date. #DNA
