Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said he has no ego issues in requesting people to adjust dates to avoid box office clashes. His film, Jab Harry Met Sejal, recently decided to release a week before Akshay Kumar’s ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ – a social film that now gets a solo release during the Independence Day weekend.
Talking to a national daily, the actor said ”I have had a few of those over the last decade and yet, I have gone and requested people to adjust whenever possible. It’s understandable that it’s not possible a lot of times. When it’s a big film on a big holiday, people want to use it to their advantage”
“If the film is good, it will run longer. Most of the films that Red Chillies (Entertainment) releases are big ticket. We are confident about filling up 4,000 screens. In case of a clash, the capacity reduces. Of course, it’s always nice if two films get their own breathing space.”
Shah Rukh also said he is “great enough” to be humble.
“I don’t have any ego (when it comes to clashes). I am great enough to be humble..”
“If we didn’t have this option (August 4), we’d have to release the film on a regular weekend, or not have it out for long. There are no free holiday weekends in the vicinity for as far as we could spot. In such a situation, a clash would be inevitable. At the end of the day, you are working with colleagues who will invariably have some issues and differences. But your primary duty is towards your film. You must look after your baby first” he said.
The iconic star has been involved in some of the biggest clashes the industry has seen when his films like Mohabbatein (Mission Kashmir), Veer Zaara (Aitraaz), Om Shanti Om (Saawariya), Don (Jaan-e-Mann), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Son Of Sardaar), Dilwale (Bajirao Mastani), Raees (Kaabil) have locked horns at the ticket window.
To his credit and his long-sustaining stardom, Shah Rukh films have more often than not come out on top.
CE v/s OUATIMD history will repeat, mark my words
Indicine off topic but is it true Ajay Devgn will be paid 35 crores for 30 days shooting for Total Dhamaal?
I am laughing at these SRK fans claiming it’s a good decision, brave move, etc. If Akki had decided to move his film from Independence Day, all of them would have been barking that it’s due to the starpower/greatness of king of clashes. My foot.
And this @javed is now trying to earn sympathy through his comments or else he would be using his third grade language like ‘Canadian soul should commit suicide’ and other cheap stuff if the clash was still on or Akki had averted it.
Salman Khan dared to clash in Diwali 2006 and 2009 even during his worst phase but look at Shahrukh Khan and his hypocrite fans backing him up. If he is generous enough to avoid clashes, what about Republic Day 2017, the dumbest clash of this decade.
well done srk..toilet ko free publicity milna bandh …ab kya hoga susu ka hahaha
Saying i am great contradicts humbleness. Shahrukh khan, humble?, are you kidding me?
Ye Admi hamesha apni tareef khud karta hai…..”I am great enough”…..LOL
He reminds me of KRK who always praise himself, but public have different opinion for him…….Similarly Srk praise himself “Apne Muh Miya Mithu”
One is Self Proclaimed King and
other is Self Proclaimed Critic……Both made for each other……LOL
If he is really humble then why he did not preponed/postponed his Raees and Dilwale, there was no movie release one week before these two movies……Its simple he is scared after the 3 Back to Back loss (FAN, Dilwale and Raees), so he cannot take chance this time……Also those who are saying that he is confident with the JHMS movie that’s why he move his movie, are the biggest stupid….if he is confident then he stick to the same date and did not run away, just like Bajrao Mastani and Sultan stick to its date because they are confident that their movie content is great……So Srk fans stop giving such lame excuses, if content is good then it can collect huge numbers even with clash…..BM collects 185cr and TJB collects 190cr with clash……
Admit it that Srk is no more Superstar, now he is only a small star, who is surviving in Industry because of Media and Red Chilly Calculator and also because of Deepika……LOL
@Javeda Aunty;
So finally you accepted that FAN and Raees was a crap movies…..But at the time of release and even after that you all Srk fans were shouting that the content of FAN movie is great and Indian audience don’t know which is good movie……Don’t worry few months after the release of JHMS you will accept that it is also another Crap Movie just like other Srk Movies…….
Ha.!
Look how hater are blabbering.
Yeah indeed he is humble enough to request others to postpont/prepone their dates. At the time of raees it was not possible because it was already postponed. It would have created a negativity around raees. And In Shaa Allah u will see what jhms will do to tepk.
Yeah I m back!!!
Update the article @indicine.
It’s been 21 hrs…stop being partial to srk.
I’m big fan of srk but TEPK is 145cr+ and JHMS is 140cr+ bcz independence weekend only for akki
Hahaha. Bhai fans and other were preparing for another party of Semihit tag of srk’s movie which was supposed to clash and expected to win too until srk changed the decision. But now their party has been spoiled. Now they calling srk darpok, bhagoda etc. I m happy that srk has not given chance to celebrate them If srk movie click well without any interruptions I m sure it make more in one week itself than life time of akki movie. Now it is time to opening day comparison between jhms vs tubelight vs dangal. No excuse now.
@Lolman Fan-OH yeah, SRK who never had a bad phase in his career is not a Superstar but The Biggest Moviestar in the world. Since you are barking too much let’s remind you of Gangu Teli Sallu Hit and Run Bhagoda Criminal’s clash record.:
Another record of Gangu Teli sallu
sallu has lost most no. of clashes:
In 1990s sallu lost these clashes

-Don vs Jaaneman(SRK)
-MAMK vs Blue vs All the best

These clashes are enough to prove that Gangu Teli sallu is a 2010 born small star who is beaten by Prabhas and Aamir in his best phase. Shame on him..! Indicine post…!!
