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.

  • Well in the north kabali anyways wldnt b xpctd to b a major grosser …similarly sultan wldnt b in d south….and now wd dese megastars mvie releases it wld eat up dr collections in dr respective dominating zones…..in d south people wld prefer kabali and in d north frst choice wld b sultan …though dr wl always b xceptions …will b interesting to see wat nos are put up by dem

  • @Challa, no one is comparing Salman’s career or life to Rajnikant…..i guess you are taking it too far.

    The comparision is how – just on their name – movies run…….Rajni’s movies are not pathbreaking or masterpieces……..it just works on his name……..they are blockbusters before it releases……..similarly Salman’s movie since last 6-7 years just works on his name……the comparision ends there…..It is similar to the era of Amitabh when movies just ran on his name….no matter how good or average they were.

  • @challa… ok i agree but rajni sir became superstar by copying many blockbuster Amitabh bacchan movies…

  • @challa- thats salman sirs personal life… ur srk also had affair with priyanka….Infidelity is hopeless which salman didnt do

  • Sabki fatt thi hai Bhai se..including Tamil superstar Rajinikanth..SALMAN KHAN is was and always will be the biggest MEGASTAR Indian Cinema has ever seen!!!

  • i like the salman haters because haters cant see the sucess of sultan even ther is giving flop they feel jealous yhey cant see see the sucess of salman

    if the haters r barking it will be sure shot bloxkbuster
    best of luck sallu

  • @JC My God can’t believe there exists a Salman Fan who’s polite and sensible.I just replied to certain comments which I had read in the previous Kabali article and couldn’t reply back then.Yes,if you compare Salman’s current standing in Bollywood with Rajini Sir then I accept there’s a bit of similarity but career wise it is impossible for Salman or any other Bollywood/Kollywood actor to match the consistency of Rajini Sir.They need to achieve a lot in order to be even compared to him.

    @Anand As far as my knowledge goes Srk has never been accused of killing any person nor has be been accused of hunting an endangered species.So I can presume he’s way more holier than Bhai

    @Salman Ajay..I am not sure whether the rumors are true but do you think infidelity is a bigger crime than killing homeless innocents brutally??

    @Hrithik Thabks for your suggestion…but better worry about Sultan because I am sure it would give tough fight to Gunday in terms of content even though the BO prospects looks good.

    @qasim Lol..Krazzy 4 is a Shah Rukh movie..At least use your brains before posting any nonsensical shit.Typical Salman Fan

  • sallu fans are too much desperate to write anything.they are calling that man bhagoda WHO thrashed puny media and papa’s made talentless star with akki in 2006 clash DON VS jaaneman.

    It’s ADITYA CHOPRA about whom KING KHAN cares so much and why they later announced to avert RAEES clash because THEY were not confirmed whether sultan wil come on EID of not which announced 1st for EID according to ADITYA CHOPRA.

    otherwise KING KHAN doesn’t even care whether salman or his baap come on his way to make A CLASH.

    And 2010 debutant non actor’s fan,arrogance is the last phase destruction ,so enjoy as mucb as you can and blabber your crap as always.but when HE’LL return remember my words salllu will lose his existence.

    @sultan bhushan,yeah if KING KHAN’S one film works in a 10 year,then your decade struggler couldn’t able to give a bit during last decade.KING KHAN’S FANS are disappointed but they never will lose their dignity and will surely come once again to lick on your whole bhojpuri fanbase’s @ss,and it’s my promise.

    We too will see up to which extent 3 month hurrily made crappy sultan can go.

  • Tamil films don’t create that much hype and excitement among Hindi audiences barring few exceptions, so this move hardly matters.
    But still I won’t term it as “Averting” a clash, because if content of “Kabali” clicks and if it finds appreciation among Hindi belt audiences, then Sultana will be in danger.

    Last month we saw, how Jungle Book was preponned by a week to “Avert” clash with SRK’s FAN. But post it’s release, it found such an appreciation that it ended up eating up huge chunk of FAN’s business.

  • @ fasal kabeela- You are the first south Indian who don’t Mpk wasn’t south remake. His last Prem ratan dhan paayo was also not remake. please come out from your kabeela of pluto and search filmography of Salman.

  • Oh my god if Thalaiva himself averting clash with Salman then who is this lungi srk? Yrf made star still has fear of Yrf.

  • Guys look @fesal kerela is back from Mental Asylum…welcome back “Most Irritated user of Indicine”
    But after reading his comments I think there is no improvement in his mental condition, I think even doctors give up and finally release him from hospital by saying that “Isko toh Bhagwan bhi theek nahi kar sakta”.
    According to doctors from Mental hostel, most of the Srk fans are going through same mental problem after the disastrous performance of HNY, Dilwale, FAN and many other Srk movies..But impact was huge when Srk cowardly run away from EID because he was scared from Megastar Salman Khan…
    It’s a highly advice from doctors to all Srk fans leave Srk fan group ASAP and don’t try to visit Megastar Salman Khan related article otherwise there is high chance of mental trauma because the success of Salman is dangerous to all srk fans…

    Get Well Soon Salman Haters….

  • Well why r u fighting all of u.let finish the matter here.how many user wants that Sultan will be ATBB just click on like and others who wants that Sultan Disaster they just dislike.Simple

  • Kabali’s target from Hindi version will be 100crs.

    But for that it need extremely positive WOM like Bahubali.

    But after watching teaser i don’t think it’s going to anything near to Bahubali.

    If they stayed on 6 July then they might not get respectable amount of screens due to Sultan.

    so i think its good decision by makers.

    Now they will get good screen space & time to collect good amount before Sultan storm hit in theaters.

  • I want Mohenjodaro to clash with Dangal and Raees to clash with Shivaay. Adhm can clash with CusCusRustam since they belong to the same category small star movies. When Aamur and his majesty Kikikiking Darr realises their loss with these clash they dare not bark again like one @Abhay Malhotra a fanless fans fan.
    No current problem with Salman i agreed he is Captain of Bollywood. Hrithik deputy Captain and Ajay Assistant captain. Any one clashes with them is clashing with fire.
    #Biggest fan of Hrithik

  • @challa-yes what srk has done is bigger crime because he done purposefully for his happiness where as salman khan didnt do purposefully…but It is also crime I accept but not bigger like infidelity

  • One fact is true & that is no matter whether you are theists or atheists, when Salman announces his movie then everyone starts to wonder “when is Eid, which date is Eid?”

    This is called “Superstardom”
    This is called “Salman khan dum”

  • @Mayur Vithalani: SALMAN HAS NEVER MOVED HIS MOVIES!! EVEN DURING HIS BAD PHASE HE CHOSE TO CLASH WITH SRK TWICE IRRESPECTIVE OF THE BOX OFFICE CONSEQUENCES, HE IS A REAL MAN UNLIKE SRGAY WHO RAN AWAY, DISAPPOINTING HIS FANS, RATHER THAN CLASHING!!

  • @Challa: This statement:

    “I am not sure whether the rumors are true but do you think infidelity is a bigger crime than killing homeless innocents brutally??”

    If you are a witness about how Salman has killed those ‘Innocents brutally’, then why are u wasting your time here? go quickly and give your statement in COURT lol, the way u wrote this gives the impression that you are a witness to that accident, 2 rs LOSERS!! BTW Fan flopped and RAEES BHAAG GAYA ??

  • Lol!!! People call bhai a south remake star when out of his last 20 movies, only 3 are south remakes…

  • Neither kabil do business like bahubali nor sultan like Bajrangi but looks similar to bahubali v/s bb

  • I have observed especially this year 2016 many movies have changed their release date… Jaggu jasoos, Raees, Kaabila.

    Sometimes it works especially considering the trade aspect..sometimes again it turns out to be a bad decision…

    I really never saw Sultan and Kaabila being treath between themselves. Both are completely different genre and both.are targeted for mostly a particular audience North n South.

    If really it has to do with Sultan hindering some chunk of Kabila share @box office revenue then must say Salman is now arguably the Icon in the making… Not actually due to his acting skills but his ability to shatter records consistently and his his loyal fan bases keeps on increasing.

    Remember this a guy that faced lots of offscreen controversies but despite that he still controls the box office… What else can I say about him?

    He is indeed a Source of Inspiration for upcoming artists. Unbelievable Personality to be added.

  • Even Megastar Rajnikanth can’t dare to clash with Bhaijaan. Toh fir ye shahrukh kounsi khet ki mooli Hain!!!!
