Even as a clash between ‘ Raees‘ & ‘ Sultan ‘ is
being talked about within Bollywood, producer of
former Shah Rukh Khan starrer hinted at
reconsidering the film’s release. Speaking to the
press ahead of the release of their forthcoming
film ‘ Bangistan’, Sidhwani said, ‘Once both the
film are done, we will sit & talk. Several films are
announced but then they (release dates) are
moved too.
Co producer of ‘ Raees’, Farhan Akhtar appeared
surprised when it’s release date of Eid 2016 was
called a ‘clash’. His partner, Sidhwani, further
added, “Eid is next year and our film just has 20
days of shooting left. We’re working so that the
film comes on Eid, because it is that kind of a
film. Even they (the ‘Sultan’ team) will also try
for a similar plan but first let the shooting of their
film begin and then we’ll see. There is no specific
intention to have a clash.”
‘ Raees’ stars Shah Rukh Khan, Nawazuddin
Siddiqui & Pakistani actress Mahira Khan in
leading roles. With an enticing trailer released,
this Rahul Dholakia directorial venture has already
piqued interest. Additionally, ‘ Sultan’ stars
Salman Khan as a wrestler. With both it’s heroes,
the Khans, are now new found BFFs of sorts,
wishing each other luck for their Eid releases, it
only logical that producers of both films would
want to avoid the same date of release. Dividing
audiences & screens around Khan releases
doesn’t bode well for the business of Bollywood!
