Bajirao Mastani vs Dilwale: Christmas clash to be averted

It never made any business sense, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the lead cast of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ had reconfirmed time and again that their film would hit screens during Christmas 2015.

However, reliable sources close to Sanjay Leela Bhansali have confirmed that the makers of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ are now looking at a solo release date in 2016.

The reports come a week after Red Chillies Entertainment officially announced the release date of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Dilwale’ starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

Earlier this week, there were also reports that the shoot of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ was delayed by a few days due to Ranveer Singh’s surgery and Bhansali wanting to reshoot a song sequence of the film.

The period drama starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra in the lead, is touted to be one of the costliest films produced in Bollywood. A clash against a Shahrukh – Kajol film could have backfired big time, more so since Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’ failed to match upto SRK’s Om Shanti Om back in 2007.

While the news is yet to be officially confirmed by Eros International or Sanjay Leela Bhansali, it’s more or less confirmed that the film won’t release in December.

There you go then, Shah Rukh Khan will get a solo Christmas release this year.

  • It should postpone. SRK is a much bigger star and Dilwale much more commercial. BM would struggle for a good opening in a clash with Dilwale and find it impossible to recover its budget.

  • Srk is desperate to break Pk’s record but he can’t even reach close to Pk this man srk is very arogant person he blocks screens of other movies lyk he did.to Ouatimd he begged infront of ekta & jitendra now begging to sanjay leela bhanshali so much despreate to break pk record but fake king khan will always remain behind

  • Remember a scene from CE where the criminals from Srilanka on Ship say, “Hindi toh hum bhi bol sakte hain. Yeh dekho HINDI. Dekha humne kaise Hindi bola” It was a PJ! Best scenes in CE are those who didn’t contain comedy and action. BM will be a better film. Hands down!

  • Dont dare to clash with Shah Rukh Khan.
    He made Salman, Akki, Aamir, Ajay eat their own when they clashed their movies with his.

  • Thankfully some good sense prevailed.It would be beneficial for both the parties.There’s no stopping Dilwale.History would be written

  • even though DILWALE going to be biggest disaster of 2015

    there is nothing new in film
    old jodi
    old format film
    this Christmas going to be bore because of DILWALE

  • As I promised that the clash will not
    happen…. so no clash lol ???
    I also promise that Dilwale will create a
    new 400 crore club in domistic and 300 crore in overseas…
    if u still doubt, then We will see it ..!!!

  • Haters always remember srk’s biggest
    fan “javed ” words….!!
    I always tell the reality and it comes true !

  • There were two superstars in pk…the legend Aamir khan and rajkumar hirani….worldwide gross of pk is around 750cr….
    But there r 4 superstars in dilwale…srk,rohit shetty,kajol,varun dhawan(opening of abcd2)….and then 5th superstar will be chartbuster music…chartbuster music also helps the movie..examles…aashique,yaariaan etc etc……so lets see 5 superstars can beat 2 supestars at box office…there is no chance in quality…

  • Bajirao mastani Released or not or srk have 15 Days holiday chance it will never ever cross 300cr just wait n watch it will b like 260 to 280 cr final
