salmanShah Rukh Khan who is busy wrapping up Maneesh Sharma’s Fan will quickly move on to Rohit Shetty’s next – Dilwale – that releases this Christmas and Rahul Dholakia’s Raees. While there’s still no confirmation on Fan’s release dates, Rahul has already announced that his next film will release on Eid next year.

While SRK fans have gone beserk, welcoming the development, given that the actor had created history with Chennai Express that was also an Eid release, a section of the media has also reported of a titanic clash that has ensued. “Salman has always booked Eid as his favourite holiday spot. Today, Eid has somehow become synonymous with Salman’s films and it was expected that YRF will release Sultan on Eid next year”, a source said.

But Raees’ release dates have put everything on hold. “Salman has not started Sultan. Shah Rukh too has not started shooting for Raees. Salman will wrap up Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and move on to Sultan, where he plays a boxer. Now with Raees definitely coming next Eid, YRF will definitely be shifting Sultan to a later date”, said another source from the production.

Although it would have possibly been the biggest clash of the year, the Raees v/s Sultan face-off is highly improbable. “Salman and Shah Rukh are two of the biggest superstars in Bollywood. They would never clash with each other. Doing so would mean eating into each other’s business and both of them are intelligent enough to not make that mistake”, explained the source.

From what we hear, Sultan will get pushed to a later date while Karan Johar’s Shhuddhi too has been indefinitely postponed. A part of as many as seven films, Salman will have a busy year ahead, where the actor would be seen juggling between his upcoming flicks.
