Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil Release Date announced

Filmkraft Productions’ has announced the release date of Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil, which will go on floors in April this year. The film, directed by Sanjay Gupta, will release in theatres during the ‘Republic Day’ weekend in 2017.

The announcement also sets up a big clash between Kaabil and Ajay Devgn’s Baadshaho, directed by Milan Lutharia.

While the shoot of Kaabil will be wrapped up by June this year, producer Rakesh Roshan says they are in no hurry to release the film this year.

“All the major release dates this year are already taken. So we’ve reserved January 26, 2017 as the release date for Kaabil. We are in no hurry to release our film”

On working with Sanjay Gupta, who has directed several films but doesn’t have a big commercial hit to his credit, Roshan Sr says “Sanjay narrated a story written by Vijay Mishra, which both Hrithik and I liked. It is something Hrithik hasn’t done before. It is in the thriller genre. It’s different and yet mainstream, somewhat like the films I direct, which are massy. Very different from whatever has been attempted so far in the genre. So you can expect a film that has elements of both Sanjay Gupta’s style and my style of filmmaking”

When questioned about Sudhanshu Pandey’s claims that the script has been stolen, Roshan says ”I don’t pay any attention to such things. As far as I am concerned, the story came to us from Vijay Mishra”

‘Kaabil’ also stars Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy, Sonu Sood and Girish Kulkarni. Since Republic Day falls on Thursday next year, ‘Kaabil’ will have a similar 4-day extended weekend as Hrithik’s Agneepath in 2012.

  • No one can clash with megastar Aamir. Bahubali 2 will also release on Pongal 2017.
    Waiting Sultan on Eid and Dangal on Xmas.

  • I feel the movie will be big, it will eventually easily surpass the January record of Airlift. Good for industry. Records are meant to be broken. All the best HRo for Kaabil & Mohenjodaro.
    #Kaali

  • Clash pe clash
    Clash pe Clash
    Clash pe Clash

    What the …???

    The huge success of underdog bajirao mastani in it’s clash with blockbuster vehicle Dilwale has given so much confidence to all the producers and stars in the industry ki now no one fears to clash.

  • Kaabil is goin to flop badly…!…

    N akki’s HF3 and rustom are going to be huge…!..

    Expect Rustam to beat Mohenjodaro in the long run…!… N wid likes of Fan and Raees flopping ,,, Akki will move to 3rd spot behind Aamir n sallu…!!…

    So rankings will be in Jan 2017 this way –

    1) sallu
    2) aamir
    3) Akshay sir..
    4) Srk
    5) Hrithik
    6) Ajay
    7) sidart
    8) ranvver..

    And the rest…!

  • Plot of a blind man avenging his wife’s death from the killer is similar to a film starring arjun ameesha and some other actor

  • @KillerAkki.. what nonsense? Just one big grosser for Akki and even that has just about beaten 4 year old Agneepath.

    4 years back, 3 Idiots was biggest grosser at 202.. today we have films touching 340. So if Agneepath released today, it would have done 200 easily. So don’t compare Hrithik and Akshay..

    Akki’s most acclaimed film only does 125. If Hrithik gets same acclaim his films will do much much more.

  • Non Holiday King Hrithik is back. And January month is lucky for Hrithik Roshan.
    Another Huge blockbuster is on the way .

  • Both Baadshaho and Kaabil deserves a solo release but i think Baadshaho will be postponed since there other good release dates in 2017.
    So Airlift record will be short lived coz either Baadshaho or Kaabil one of them will surely break it.

  • feeling Sad For HR .His every movie since Gujarish -clash with harry potter 7 A
    ZNMD -clash with Harry potter 7 B
    only Agnipath and K3 was his solo and both have created big records .
    But it looks like Btown is Against HR ,SRK and RK that everyone is going to clash with them.
    Hate such shameful political nature by others .

  • I heared that it is going to clash with Ajay’s film which director is Mishal. Mishal’s last film was a Disaster. And Ajay devgan coulnt give any hit after 2012 except singham. So , surely Hrithik gonna win the clash. Rakesh Roshan also said that its a commercial film. so, my perdiction for Kaabil – 170-200cr+ … Ajay’s unnamed film 50-60cr

  • Content and Performance of RUSTOM will Crush Mohenjo Daro. Coz MD has high budget.
    Then Roshan will change release date of KAABIL and avert the clash with BAADSHAHO.

  • @Rambo.. don’t worry. It will be a no contest.. just like Bang Bang vs Haider. Roshan’s will invest a lot of money in this to make it on a huge scale.

  • And these Hrithik fans were claiming dat It will clash with Dangal…LOL
    None can dare to clash with Biggest Superstar Of Bollywood.. Aamir’s movies r most Watched In India..Audience trusts him blindly..If It’s an Aamir film has to be great..Aamir is the only Indian Actor to Bring more than 2.50cr audience 5 times in last 2 decades…others only 1/times in last 16 years….

  • Shiit;wanted It to rls in 2016 only… :-( why Rakesh Sir??? :O ny wy Best of Luck…make The Outcome Best and Break Records(BO) & win Hearts of Critics & Mango Peoples!!! #GET_WELL_SOON_HR

  • hahaha
    Akshay Kumar open the record on Republic day now everyone is dying to release their movies in January LOL
