Clash is not a big deal: Imtiaz Ali

Imtiaz Ali, who directs Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming yet-to-be-titled film, has said “clashes are not a big deal” when there are so many films and only 52 weeks in a year.

His keenly-awaited film releases in theatres during the Independence Day weekend with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, which was earlier scheduled to release on June 2.

“There are only 52 weeks in a year and some of them have been taken away by other things and of course, there are more than 52 films. So, clashes are not a big deal” Imtiaz Ali said.

The filmmaker also said they haven’t yet decided on the title. The working title of the film was ‘The Ring’.

“The name of the film is not yet decided, we have some time. On August 11, the film is going to release. So we will announce the name soon” Imtiaz said at a film event.

  • We are anyways gonna end with avg or semi hit status ?? Clash is not a big deal.. at 51 srk is doing a romantic movie with an actress half is age .. most unexperimental actor ever .. fir se baahein fela ke gana gayega aur dance karega ???

  • Akki is a much bigger star than Srk currently. He has been given big hits consistently and has recently won National Award.

  • all the akshay fans don’t worry if the tepk will flop in India than u all have another option that is
    u release ur film in Canada becoz akki is Canadian so every Canadian will watch his film in Canada and will make blockbuster
    were srk is indian his film will be superhit in India and may be also superhit hit in Canada

  • Akshay didn’t do right by postponing TEPK to 11 august and involved in a clash with SRK’s big budget film.SRK will once again prove he is king of clashes.but he might miss a clean – hit once again which he is searching after HNY due to clash and heavy budget.

  • 90’s -Salman /Sunny Deol
    00’s – Hrithik
    10’s – Salman
    And SRK fans says King Bhagoda Khan is Ruling since 25 years in the industry lol..

  • anyone one who prepone their film on 4th Aug will be smarter one :P
    one solo week and then there’s rakshabandhan holiday in weekdays

  • Clashes are big deal for producers who invest crores and even bigger deal for fans who want their star’s films to do 200 and 300 crore.

  • 90’s – Salman was ahead of Gobar Star
    00’s – Hrithik was ahead
    10’s – Salman, Aamir and Akki r Ahead
    But our Bhagoda Khan is GOD lol

  • He himself is no big deal anymore. Imtiaz Ali was associated with quality, feel-good movies. After Jab We Met, all of his movies have been on the same lines.
    Some guy is too involved in his profession, some cool careless girl comes and changes everything. Things get complicated and they separate. And get back in the end leaving their jobs.

  • Now some frustrated souls will appear and chant that TEPK will thrash SRK’s untitled film.Bhai’s career will finished by gangu teli akki and blah blah.May god rest in peace their souls.

  • Akshay will smack budhdha khan down just like he smacked Hrithik last year. Toilet:EPK will rule.

  • Megastar & National award winner Khiladi Kumar will surely be a big deal for Imtiaz once his film becomes a disaster because of clashing with Toilet Ek Prem Katha.

  • Welcome Back King of Romance SRK….Waiting to for King Khan ‘s Romance scenes….Hope it will be a good film..

  • SRK happy new year.. collected 44.97cr in its opening day with 4500 screens.. salmans jaiho collected 17.15cr in its opening day with 4285 screens kick collected 25cr in 4400 screens in opening day … total screens of both movies = 8685 … and collection 42.23 … srks 1 movie is eual to salmaans two movies with half of the screens… baap baap hotaa hai… no one can beat srk in opeing…. ! overall collections depends on content where i think srk laks…! isiiye srk ko king bolte hai.. salman ko salman..! worlds biggest superstar for a reason..! salmans fans ye padne ke baad ek burnol lelena jaroorath padegi.

  • This is the right way to treat clashes unlike Rakesh Roshan..he just spoil good movie like Kaabil because of his ego and rotdu behaviour.

  • Another 120cr storm is confirmed for Indipendence day weekend….. Get ready for the storm!!!

  • Still have a feeling that this movie will postponed and release on Diwali with G4 & SS. As the shooting is not completed and their next schedule will start perhaps after the IPL. May be they are not sure at the moment about release date. Whatever in both cases they will have to clash with big movies.

  • king khan srk is like sun no one can touch him… king khan srk fans are like stars no one can count them..!

  • Dilwale clashed with Bajirao, result – semi hit. Raees clashed with Kaabil, result – Semi hit. But Fan gets solo release and it flopped. Hence, if Ring clashes with any other film then it will be a semi hit due to the free publicity…..and if by chance it gets solo release then another flop is confirmed…!

  • Dont get the logic? 4 months to go and the name of the movie is not yet decided? Is he sure his movie will be ready by then? I mean if its a trailer then yes its okay 4 months is very very understanding but this has to do with the name of the movie that too a Shah Rukh movie and barely 4 months to go!!
