Shah Rukh Khan Upcoming Release Dunki To Postponed Due To A Box Office Clash With Pabhas Salaar

Shah Rukh Khan upcoming movie "Dunki" may be delayed to avoid a clash with Prabhas' film "Salaar" at the box office. "Dunki", directed by Raj Kumar Hirani, features Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu in lead roles, while "Salaar", helmed by Prashant Neel, stars Prabhas. 

Shah Rukh Khan recently mentioned that "Dunki" is set to release in theatres around Christmas or New Year. However, Prabhas's movie "Salaar - Part 1: Ceasefire" is also scheduled for a December release, creating a clash between the two movies. Now, according to fresh reports, the release of "Dunki" has been postponed. 

Film trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote, "Buzz: #SalaarVsDunki X #ShahRukhKhan's #Dunki likely to get POSTPONED. #Prabhas' #Salaar to get a SOLO record release." On X, the film news page Lets Cinema mentioned, "Reports suggest, #Dunki might get postponed from December 22nd due to delayed post-production timelines. Awaiting official confirmation."

Aakashavaani also tweeted, "Yes. The talk going around is said to be true. #Dunki most 'Likely' to get postponed. Post-production works are said to be taking time, and the team may not be able to complete the work for the December 22nd release. Official confirmation is awaited."

Meanwhile, the makers of "Salaar" had previously announced that the movie would hit theatres on December 22. Sharing a new poster on Instagram, the production house Hombale Films captioned it, "Coming bloody soon! #SalaarCeaseFire Worldwide Release On Dec 22, 2023." The intriguing poster featured Prabhas with blood on his body.

Directed by Prashant Neel, "Salaar" also stars Shruti Haasan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles. The movie was initially slated for a September 28 release but was postponed due to unexpected circumstances. 

During the success event of "Jawan", Shah Rukh confirmed the release date of "Dunki". He stated, "We started on January 26, Republic Day (with Pathaan), then on Janmashtami we released Jawan, now New Year and Christmas are round the corner, we will release Dunki. I keep National integration. Anyway, when my film is released, it is Eid." Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film also features Taapsee Pannu in a leading role.
