Rajinikanth’s ‘Kabali’ averts clash against Salman Khan’s Sultan

Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming gangster drama film ‘Kabali’ will hit theatres on July 1st 2016, which falls in the Pre-Eid period.

The decision to release the film before Eid was taken to avoid any clash against Salman Khan’s keenly-awaited film Sultan, which releases in theatres on July 6.

“The film was earlier slated to release in June. It has been now pushed to July 1. The makers had also planned to release on July 7 but have advanced the release to avoid a clash with Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan’” a source confirmed.

Directed by Pa. Ranjith, ‘Kabali’ is the story of the rise of a gangster from rags-to-riches. The film also stars Radhika Apte, Dinesh, Kalaiarasan, Dhansikaa and Ritwika.

  • I don’t think Kabali will do good business in Hindi even if it manages to get a solo release.
    But in South no matter when it releases it will shatter every single record.

  • BHAI ROCKS! WITH EVERY SOUTH REMAKE, OR CONTENT LESS FILM. HE DESERVS GHANTA AWARD FOR READY, JAI HO. KOI DE DO NA PLEASE.

  • Not to avoid clash I think, but to create an impact like Bahubali.
    Good move by them according to me.

    @Indicine, is it releasing in Hindi too?

  • don’t understand this… south biggest superstar movie leaving eid to avert clash with salman. EID OR CLASH… in think both films were OK evn on same eid release….. Any ways… BHAI KI EID CONTINUES AFTER COWARD LEFT IT.. SOME OF HIS COWARD FANS TOO NT SO ACTIVE THESE DAYS…. #SULTAN OF INDIAN CINEMA #ENTERTAINER

  • Good decision by the makers of Kaabil.
    Now no one will be able to stop the hurricane of Sultan.

  • In a previous Kabali somebody had said Rajini Sir is the Salman Khan of South..It was literally ROFL worthy comment:
    Unlike Salman Rajini Sir is a self made star and had to suffer a lot during his initial struggle period and his stardom doesn’t fluctuates every decade and none of his movies has ever took a disaster opening.He’s 100 times better actor than Salman and has played character of different shades from villain to saint to vigilante.
    And most importantly he’s loved for his humble nature and philanthropic works which he does not to create an image which would enable him to escape from Court cases.

  • SRK fans will be like.. Its OK for Raees as now even mighty Rajni averting clash with Salman.. So who is srk .. A guy whose 1 film worked in 10 yrs on hype of Rajni song . then its OK SRK fans ..

  • Every one is scared to clash with emperor of Bollywood. Now Tamil super star is scared of India’s biggest super star.. If he releases on eid rajni will get collections only on tamilnadu. Will lose in nizam and banglore.

  • To clash with number one star is totally foolishness, its good decision to avoid

    This year also again salman will rock

  • Sensible decision by the makers of Kabali . Last year Baahubali released one week before BB and the total worldwide gross 600 CR + . Kabali has generated massive buzz on YouTube and I don’t think any other Indian movie has generated this kind of buzz on Social Media . Sultan will be severely affected in the South and Kabali I think is not releasing in Hindi version so Sultan will be solid in the other states . So in the span of one week people will be geared up to see Rajni Sir and Salman Khan . Kabali has the potential to be a massive Blockbuster as both Kochadaiyaan and Lingaa were box office disappointments so Rajni Sir can make a solid turnaround with Kabali this year and 2.0 in 2017 . Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wise decision by Kabali team clashing with Salman’s movie is a suicide…

    Though Rajni sir is a big Megastar and if this clash happens then it will be known as “Clash Of Titans” and “Megastar Vs Megastar”…

    Now Srk fans will understand why Raees team avoid the clash against Mighty Salman Khan…if Megastar like Rajinikant cannot take chance to clash with Salman then who is this tiny star Srk…

    U have included it Twice in Srk list,in 98 & 99.Ok?got me?reply…….

  • Indicine

    Can u please post an article about Nawaz talking about Raees, and SRK’s performance in it ?

  • very good…right decision has been taken by kabali team as SULTAN is the king of box office…kya keheto ho looser srk fans

  • This news is utter nonsense…The Tamil / Telugu version of Kabali will not get affected by ANY movies and it pretty much a given that Kabali’s 90% of domestic revenue will be from South only….so what is the point of this sort of news. Moreover Salman Khan is not a crowd puller in South like an SRK or Aamir. Sultan won’t face a chance to stand up to Kabali in the South so what is the logic of this article @Indicine?

  • Not a big deal! And it’s the same Salman which lost against Don in previous clash. No offense or nothing against him. I just want to state that, he is having Golden period now. Had he been passing through the same phase like it was in Jaanemann or before Wanted. Im sure Salman would have moved now.

  • Good decision by Kabali Get Readyy hurricane of Sultan Mega SuperStar Salman Khan Clashing with Salman’s movie is a suicide Srk fans will understand why Raees team avoid the clash against Megastar salman bhai I am Proud To Be Salman Khan Fan

  • Sultan Day 1- 55 cr
