Here’s what Salman Khan has to say about Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ getting postponed

This Eid, we were prepared for a box-office war between the two biggest Khans of our Industry. Salman Khan‘s ‘Sultan’ was set to release with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’, but fortunately or unfortunately, this clash got averted as Shah Rukh decided to push the release date of his film. The reason was simple that two big-budget films clashing at the box-office could have had tremendous effect on the collections of the film, knowing that both the Khans enjoy a fan following which is beyond measure.

So, when we asked Salman Khan on what is his take on Shah Rukh Khan postponing the release date of his ‘Raees’, firstly he said, probably SRK’s ‘Raees’ has not been completed yet and then he ranted about the number of screens being less for such big films. He said, “Right now we hardly have 5000 screens which then get divided with regional films. We don’t have that the bandwidth for such big films to release. Beyond Panvel, there are hardly any theatres, so such big films will never be able to release on the same day. I want certain amount of screens, he (Shah Rukh Khan) would want certain amount of screens so then it gets divided. Business also then gets divided. The industry is not growing at all. Only the ticket prices are growing and it just on a different ridiculous level of pricing.”

Well, true that! It’s better to not put audiences in dilemma by releasing such much-awaited films on the same day.
