After Watching Sultan’s Trailer, Do you Think it was a Wise Decision by SRK to postpone Raees?
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s friendship has gone through a lot of ups and downs. While they used to be best friends initially (SRK even dedicated his award to Salman on-stage), they had quite a fall out in the middle. Remember Katrina Kaif’s birthday party? However, all is well between the two now. Their patch up at Arpita Khan Sharma’s wedding was a bigger news than Arpita’s wedding itself.
When it comes to a professional face-off, SRK has had an upper hand. Whenever their movies have clashed at the box office, SRK’s movie has always done better. Whether it is Don vs Jaaneman or Om Shanti Om vs Saawariya.
This year, everyone was awaiting the biggest clash with Raees and Sultan. Talking about the clash, SRK had a quintessential reply. He told us, “There are 365 days in a year which amounts to 54 Fridays. And there are bound to be clashes. The business will get divided, but Salman and I are such good friends that we have decided on doing everything together including releasing the movies together.”
But, Salman had clearly said that only he needs to worry about the clash and not SRK. He added, “I have released two films with Shah Rukh – Jaaneman opposite Don and Saawariya against Om Shaanti Om and both didn’t do well. In fact, with both the films his track record is 100%. So he has got nothing to worry about. If there is anyone who needs to worry then it is me.”
However, SRK pushed the release date of Raees to next year. And, now Raees will clash with Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil. Wonder why that happened?
SRK’s last two films, Dilwale and FAN, didn’t do well at the box office despite everything working for them. Dilwale saw the return of SRK and Kajol 'sfamous jodi, SRK delivered a brilliant performance in FAN. While Salman’s last outing, Bajrangi Bhaijaan broke all records possible. Is that the reason that SRK decided to push the release date of the movie?
Interestingly, Sultan’s trailer released this week and it's shattering all records possible. The dhobi-pachad moves, the sportsperson’s body language, the dialect and the mass-appeal dialogue delivery, Salman is back with a bang. The film focusses on Sultan’s journey who is fighting for redemption, love and glory. And looking at the response the trailer has received, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Salman is all set to ring the cash registers ringing. The movie stars Anushka Sharma in the lead role opposite Salman, is directed by Ali Abbas Zaffar and produced by Yash Raj Films. Basically, Sultan has everything working in its favour.
While Salman fans are rejoicing after watching the trailer, SRK fans are disappointed and sulking after knowing that they would get to see Raees in 2017. Meanwhile, now that the Sultan trailer is out and we all have watched it, we wonder if it was wise of Shah Rukh to postpone the release of Raees? What do you guys think?
