Akshay’s Thuppakki remake to clash with Salman’s Mental?

There is buzz in the industry that Akshay Kumar and director A.R. Murugaddoss are keen on releasing their upcoming film, the remake of Tamil blockbuster Thuppakki, during the Republic day weekend next year.

Not too long ago, there were reports of Sohail Khan also eyeing the same weekend for the theatrical release of Salman Khan’s Mental.

With production houses booking holiday weekends a year or more in advance, we wouldn’t be surprised if the makers of Thuppakki announce the release date first.

Are we in for yet another clash? This time Akshay vs Salman? Stay tuned to Indicine. The official announcement is likely to be made soon!

  • Like i said in ‘salman vs akki eid 2013’ article, they willl not clash they are freinds. They will find a way.

  • this time republic day is not that useful ,because jan 26 is a Sunday. So,i dont think there will be a clash.

    Yesterday one of akshay fan asked murugadoss to book jan24 as thupakki release date and murugadoss replied ”yes we will”

    but i think march will be the good date for thupakki.because boss is releasding on oct18.

    so its better,if there is gap of 5 months atleast between the releases. that too ouatima and boss r releasing within the gap of two months.

  • due to packed schedule of superstars….nothing can be predicted earlier…..but i m damn sure that this clash won’t take place…bcoz once akki will go for it, but a coward like sallu won’t clash with anyone,,,…even with rajpal yadav…so don’t worry…it’s not going to be happen in nearest future…

  • yess akshay will defeat salman, btw salman didn’t release this year eid because mental shooting had just started , how can you expect him to release on eid then, but he will deifinitely release on republic day weekend and akshay also and akshay will show him who is the real man.

  • Bullshit news..this will never happen , as both r good friends from atleast 15 yrs , whenever anyone is need for help , both r there for each other..salman has done cameo song in TEES MAR KHAN , gave way premission to used BEING HUMAN name in JOKER n doned voice-over in OH MY GOD n akki has also donated 50lakhs to BEING HUMAN two yrs back as it is posted on twitter by salman himself..so no clash .

  • Thupakki remake will be destroyed if it happens. . .salman stardom is much more higher than akki. . .

  • i expect it not to happen, but if it helps them no issue they can go ahead but comptetion should not be throat cuting.
    And screens should have to be divided into equal no.

  • I too agree with xzone. Mark my word, salman will back out if akshay comes up with thuppaki remake. The reason u know right?. Suppose if they clashed then I can assure u, Thuppakki remake will swallow Salman’s mental without chewing. I dont like akshay kumar as an actor much but have seen thuppakki tamil version, its super amazing movie and guaranteed blockbuster in making.

  • If clash happen between salman and akshay then salman is going to clear winner for first weekend because his star power

  • @nipun??how much higher???last year akki’s non holiday rowedy rathore did business of 135 cr despite every week clash..while salman’smuch hyped dabbang2 did only 150 cr.with the helip of xmas and new year holiday and with 3 open weeks.so salman is not a big star he is just a hyped star by media and social siites.there are many big stars then salman.ranbir is good example

  • @komal:i am not a salman fan. Still i must say salman has much more stardom than akki. .well,what happened last year? ?akki gave a bb called ‘rawdy rathore’. .but there was a disaster-joker,and a average movie-khiladi 786. . .so akki’s movies always depends on other factors like script,music and so on. . . .but salman’s five masala scriptless movies are back 2 back bb and atbb. . .
    Now salman is biggest star. .everyone should agree. .even i like srk more than him. .but fact is fact. .

  • First i will clarify all of you
    i m south indian but a hrithik fan

    Both movies are remakes of AR Murogadoss

    Thuppakki was an ATBB with a gripping script great comedy nice music it will be a treat before interval bang people used to clap in theatres but the hero was major advantage and disadvantage to the movie as Vijay was great crowd puller but in acting department he was good only in comedy
    we have to see how aKKI enacts his role

    Mental was a remake of telugu movie Stalin but it was an average grosser but it have some good sensible elements to make a movie hit bt salman has to choose tagore rather than stalin it will give tree formula in c language data structures in which hero

    But Remaking is nt a good idea but see its time these 40+ heroes are in verge of making moolahs at boxoffices because it was their age factor to compete with youngsters

    Here in south 20+ actors are beating records of 30+ and 40+ heroes bt in north YJHD became talk of the town

  • Now i’m sure aki time is over. His films struggling to cross 70cr mark and sp26 critically successful but face neck to neck compition from a non starer abcd. And his next two films clash with srk and salman starer. Now it is clear salman fan never watch ouatima, so its a 1st plus point for ce, the king and the dabangg beat aki in a huge margin, just wait and watch.
    Highly rated comment

  • This will never happen unless something goes wrong between Salman-Akshay equation. Some retards n fans of a fake king are supporting same Akshay whom they abused n his movie being crushed on this Eid on CE pages. Double standard hypocrisy. Hadd hai yaar!!!!!

  • I hope and pray the rumor is true. I really want to seem how Salman’s film fares when it clashes with a remake film with another superstar. Anyway, I hope both of them do well though…..

  • no need to fight here about who is best.
    this clash wont happen

    Greek God Devotee
    i too have seen both the movies.as like vijay akshay also has lot of mass following.
    everyone knows,how akki is good in action and comedy.sure akki will rock the movie.
    and akshay also doing the remake of tagoor as gabbar.both the movies will be bb.

  • Now salman’s fans are in underpressure. Beacuse if salman’s mental clash with akshay’s thuppakki than may be it can beat thuppakki but it will not collect more money than 130-140 cr.

  • This will defintly not happen
    & the reason for this is niether Sallu-Akki’s frndship nor that Salman is a coward.
    The only reason coz of which I m sayin this will not happen is-
    26th Jan is not a big festival like EID or DIWALI+ this time 26th Jan falls on Sunday

  • This clash won’t happen and in case it happens, my predictions:

    1. Salman’s Mental may have an advantage at least over the opening weekend because of his huge star power.

    2. In the end, Akshay’s Thuppakki R will mint more money at boxoffice provided its top notch stunts (from Harry Potter series, Skyfall, Fast 6 stunt director) and storyline.

    3. Sohail Khan’s direction is a joke as compared to A.R.Murugadoss’s.
