Shah Rukh Khan 'Raees' and Salman Khan's 'Sultan' Are Going to Clash At Box-Office?

Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale is all set to release this month and Salman Khan just ruled the box-office with his drama film, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. However, Shah Rukh and Salman are soon going to clash at box-office with Raees and Sultan, respectively.

With his Shah Rukh starrer Raees and Salman's starrer Sultan are expected to clash at the box-office in 2016, actor/producer Farhan Akhtar hopes that with the release of two films, their business would not be affected. Raees is going to be an action-thriller film, which is produced by Akhtar's Excel Entertainment and is directed by Rahul Dholakia, is all set to release on Eid next year. If Sources are true, then this the same time Yash Raj's Sultan will see the light of the day.

In a recent interview with Indian Express, when a reporter asked about the box-office clash, Bhaag Mikha Bhaag actor said that they have to see when the final date will come.

"We are releasing our film on Eid, will they also release the same time, that Salman Khan will decide."

Akhtar also said that he do not think that the business would be affected as they both have their own fan followings and at the time of festival season, their fans will have a lot of options.

Even Shah Rukh opened up about the box-office clash of Raees and Sultan. In a recent interview with Movie Talkies Shah Rukh said that now he and Salman are good friends. They are going to do everything together, even going to release their films together.

"There are only 365 days in a year, 54 Fridays, we make 200 films and it is bound to happen that some films will release on the same Friday. Most of the people involved in both the films are actually friends. Aditya is producing Sultan and Salman is acting in it. Excel & Red Chillies are producing Raees and I am acting in it. I think business will get divided, but now we are close friends, so we all will do everything together," Shah Rukh said.

This is not the first time when Shah Rukh and Salman clashed at the box-office. In 2006, Shah Rukh starrer Don was released alongside Salman's Jaane-E-Mann. According to IMDB, Don earned $27 million at the box-office, and Jaane-E-Mann earned only $5.2 million.

Mstars earlier reported that Shah Rukh will visit Salman on his reality TV show, Bigg Boss to promote his upcoming romantic film, Dilwale. The film is slated to release on Dec. 18 and expectations are very high because it is bringing back Shah Rukh-Kajol Devgan on screen after five long years.
