A festive showdown is on the horizon for this year’s Christmas weekend, as two highly anticipated movies, Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki’ and Prabhas’ ‘Salaar,’ are scheduled to grace the big screens. ‘Dunki’ surprised everyone by moving its release date up by one day, now set for December 21st.
Naturally, there were expectations that ‘Salaar’ might follow suit to avoid a head-to-head clash. It was rumored that ‘Salaar’ could potentially hit theaters two days earlier on December 20th, giving it a one-day solo run before locking horns with ‘Dunki’ on the 21st.
However, exclusive sources close to the ‘Salaar’ production team have confirmed that there’s no alteration in the release date. ‘Salaar’ will adhere to its initially announced date of December 22nd.
Shah Rukh Khan’s decision to advance ‘Dunki’s’ release date was seen as a strategic move by trade experts. Being the first to release, ‘Dunki’ gains an advantage in terms of screen allocation and showtimes. This unprecedented shift could potentially transform a regular working Thursday into a national holiday, given SRK’s massive fan following.
The release date for ‘Salaar’ remains firmly set on December 22nd, and it will be intriguing to see how this clash unfolds.
Meanwhile, Prabhas’ fans are gearing up for an extravagant celebration of the actor’s 44th birthday. His immense popularity has led fans across the Telugu States to plan extraordinary birthday festivities and eagerly share their excitement on social media while awaiting updates about his upcoming films.
