Salman’s stardom ensures competition free release for Sultan

It’s a true sign of superstardom when the biggest of films from every language and industry, make way to give a ‘competition free’ release for Salman Khan’s Sultan.

In May this year, Shah Rukh Khan decided not to release his film during Eid – a date which was first occupied by his keenly-awaited film ‘Raees’. (Read: Timeline of Raees vs Sultan clash)

Then it was Tamil superstar Rajnikanth’s turn. The makers of his upcoming film ‘Kabali’ were first targeting the Eid weekend, but later decided to release their film 10 days after Sultan.

Sources say, even Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh decided to release his own film ‘Sardaarji 2’ a week after ‘Udta Punjab’ because it would give his film a good 2 week run before ‘Sultan’ hits screens during Eid.

Now, Reliance Entertainment too have decided not to risk their Hollywood biggie – Steven Spielberg’s THE BFG – a film that was earlier scheduled for Eid, will now release on July 15.

Sultan will be the only choice for movie goers for more than week, at almost every movie theatre across India and the film is getting the widest release ever too.

Starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma in the lead, Sultan releases in theatres on July 6 2016.

    if content is best then 300 to 340 cr

  • The biggest was srk moved Raees from EID. As he is big crowd pullar alone than any other films (which made their way for Sultan) mentioned in pan India. Sultan getting free release is biggest advantage and huge initial weekend on cards. The sultan trailer was good for me but the Sultan title track video is more appealing. Expecting 250cr+ on the cards. 300+ will be sure if content clicks. Best of Luck Salman.

  • IS THERE ANY BODY LISTENING ME ?
    @indicine. I had contacted you BEFORE 2 DAYS through your “contact us” link in the home page of your site. After entering into the link, i followed every bit of procedure and made a request regarding posting an article about the trailer of upcoming movie “budhia singh – born to run”. After successful registration I got a message that you will contact me within 24 hour.
    But still there has been no progress regarding my request or any contact has been by your side. Also i had tweeted you about the same thing. Certainly you are the most popular cine site of india. And there is not even an article by you for a such good movie containing a social plot. I don’t except this type of ignorance from you.

  • There was a time when even Mogali threatened yrf.

    And now Rajni & Spinsberg also running away.

    No need to say anything more now…

  • Rajni sir doesn’t need to shift his movie for a non-actor. He commands an unprecedented following in South and South Indian movies hardly rely on the collections from Hindi belt.

    Next, regarding The BFG, there is nothing new for Hollywood movies to get preponed /postponed in India. From Star wars to Jungle Book, all of them had shifted their dates as per their convenience. So stop going gaga over it.

    Moreover, you mentioned a Punajbi film? I mean really?
    Then I must say why didn’t you include Bhojpuri films in your analysis?
    I have heard that 3 Bhojpuri movies have been postponed indefinitely in Bihar as Bhojpuri producers are running away due to the forthcoming release of Biggest megastar of Bhojpuri cinema “Mr. Dehaati non-actor Khan”.
    Please include that too in your article.
