Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have decided to stay away from Yash Raj Films’ Tiger Zinda Hai. The decision has finally been made to release the magnum-opus ‘Padmavati’ on November 17 2017, a month before the previously finalised date (15 December 2017).
The much-discussed clash between ‘Padmavati’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ has been averted, making way for Salman Khan to get a completely solo ‘competition-free’ release during Christmas next year.
It’s the current form and box office supremacy of the superstar that makes it impossible for anyone to even think of taking him on. Not just in the week of his release, but most banners try to avoid releasing their films a week before and a couple of weeks after the release of his films.
‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ is even bigger because it reunites Salman with his ‘Sultan’ director Ali Abbas Zafar, it’s a sequel to a major blockbuster ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and has the backing of a banner like Yash Raj Films.
‘Padvamati’ is one of the biggest releases of 2017 too. It features Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor in the lead. It won’t get the advantage of holidays, but could get a 4 week open run if there are no major releases between ‘Padmavati’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.
It’s a good and sensible decision, during times when most banners seem to be obsessed with festive and holiday weekends for their big films.

Ye to hona hi tha…no one can mess with Salman
With 150-160 cr budget and also non holiday release date damn …..
Bhaitards must be dancing right now
SLB knows aukaat of both SRK and Sallu!!! Smart move!!
Well after that Bakwas and Crass Befikre Trailer its almost sure that will be at most flop or below average.. Shahid is not that much Bankable Star… So a Wise Decision.. Padmavati is a costly Period Drama and shud get gud Release.. The LEGENDS Command Fear and Respect..Backing up of Raees and Padmavati,Eid 2018 slot still being Empty are Tantamount to Megastardom of Salman…
The Legacy of SALMAN KHAN is LEGENDARY…
So finally a burnol moment for every Salman hater. No one has d guts to even think of releasing even b4 one week forget abt clashing… ?
Burnol moment for Srk fans
Sense prevails.
No one in the world has the power to challenge Bhaijan. Proud to be Bhai fan. God bless him
Well done slb good decision
its better you move…bhaijaan don’t beg like others..
they understand that. TIGER ZINDA HAIIII……..hahaha
Yup good decision.. Salman is having dream run at the box office and releasing your big budget movie before one wk is sucide..coz in 2nd you wont be able to get much screen.. Btw evry bhansali movie is magnum opus.. Bt ranveer and deepika and hostorical dram is repitative now..
Where are some srkian? Who always said Padmavati crush TIGER ZINDA HAI….!!
No one can stop TZH to become huge Blockbuster…!
Please GOD give some brain to these Haters, so that they understand that today messing with Salman Khan and his movies, means Suicide……No one dare to clash with Salman’s movie….
The buzz for Ek Tha Tiger was one of a kind…Tiger Zinda Hai might be even bigger…it’s a very sensible decision to stay away from that film but let’s see whether they change the release date again or not to a partial holiday.
LOL..
NOW THIS IS KNOWN AS POWER..
ALL HAIL SALMAN..
#RESPECT FROM SRK FAN..
# STOP UNNECESSARY FAN WAR..
So finally a burnol moment for every Salman hater again. One more to come one Eid 2018 when Dabangg3 will officially b confirmed. So bacha k rakhna. Noone has d guts to think of even challenging even b4 a week, forget abt clashing.
Power of Sultan Salman Khan !!!!!!!!!
This is the real difference between Stardom of Megastar Bhai and Flopstar, Even in Bhai’s low phase Bhai used to clashed his Average content movies with others without any fear of failure while our SRK in his bad phase Running like a Coward inspite of having support of some 3.7 billion ‘Alien’ fans ?, In SRK’s best phase anybody challenges him for clash while in Bhai’s best phase forget about challenging him people’s stay away from him recent example is SLB, the same SLB who thrashed our global queen recently ? !!!! As I always said SRK was always a YRF/Dharma product and will never match Bhai in Stardom !!!!
this is stardom of bhai were is self proclaimed kingu srk fans
Aamir & Salman jo date book kar lete h waha pe koi aane ki sochta b nhi h…or hota h to bhag jaata h ….all fanbases must accept this fact specially srk as srk is even fighting for rebuplic day weekend while salman getting two best weekend of year without clash. already announced films are getting behind like raees padmavati . and aamir also getting its christmas weekend with utmost ease whenever he wants. only daring person in bollywood who can clash is ajay devgan. even yrf is biggest in bollywood right now but if ajay 1st announce his film then he will stick to that no matter what. so in near future no one will dare to clash with salman & Aamir …bollywood knows these are true wrestlers of bolly & biggest superstar of country right now. only there film deserves proper festive release date as these two have potential to give max moolahs to industry.
This is called power without self proclaimed titles. The so called Global Queen was chased and hunted down last Christmas whereas against Salman the opponents move away from his movies !!!!!!!!
It’s the current form and box office supremacy of the superstar that makesit impossible for anyone to even think of taking him on……
SALMAN IS MEGASTAR …
no one has stoping for clash but
wat salman do if no one want clash with his films
true stardom
Because Dutt Biopic comming xmas 2017
Salman Khan the Real Tiger of Bollywood…..
Tiger Tiger Tiger……
Now PADMAVATI willn’t even recover it’s cost.bhansali is always jealous of KING KHAN,and he always feared of salman because he came to industry through salman.now slb’s hypocrisy exposed.
Anyways Bhai will survive for bit more days until 2018 CAME.2018 EID,CHRISTMAS will be taken by MEGASTAR KING KHAN and lallu will be thrown to dust bin in 2017 onwards.
Poor Salman haters should read this article and sulk. They were dreaming SLB to thrash Salman and look SLB himself don’t wanna take on Salman. Great Embarrassing moment for Salman haters !!!!!!!!
Raees postponed and didnt release on eid or christmas as SK & AK were there. padmavati preponed as SK was there. Bombay velvet postponed as AK was there with PK. So its proof that aamir & salman are biggest superstar of bollywood today. But why Ak Sk fans fights as both are heart of bollywood and always praise each other like how aamir praised sultan immensely & salman also praised aamir. so both fandons maintain the AMARPREM of them. as all other fanbase who are jealous of them makes fight between them. so avoid them & support AmarPrem
