Ritesh Sidhwani confirms Eid 2016 for SRK’s Raees

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani has confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ will release during Eid 2016, even though Yash Raj Films’ has announced the same date for Salman Khan’s Sultan directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.

“Speculation on #Raees release date! It all ends this Eid.. Chalo time for me to take a dip in the warm waters of #tenerife” Sidhwani tweeted.

The battle gets interesting because Shah Rukh Khan has NEVER lost a clash at the box office. The last time a SRK and Salman (with Akshay) film released together, Don vs Jaan-e-Mann, Don was the clear winner at the box office.

However, Salman wasn’t quite as big a megastar back in 2006 as he is now and was clearly going through a low phase for the most part of the 2000s. After the huge success of ‘Dabangg’, Salman has gone on to create history with each of his film releases. Apart from ‘Jai Ho’ all other films have been blockbusters i.e 6 blockbusters in 7 releases!

The fate of the big clash between ‘Raees’ and ‘Sultan’ will also depend on how their two films fare at the box office. If Salman’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ doesn’t work, YRF might back out and the same applies for ‘Dilwale’ too.

  • As I said KING SRK’S PLACE is much higher than YRF in Bollywood.leave salman he is not even an actor so he is no existence in front of KING KHAN.salmon has not even 1% contributed for the glory of bollywood.all that he offered only biggest craps of all time.and he got those successes only because he didn’t got any STRONG OPPONENT that he faced long time at back 2006.

    So as I earlier said,KING KHAN will choose better death rather than to do back off from a CLASH.and BTW CLASH is the only thing that ONE ACTOR can prove HIMSELF GREATER.If you ask ME ,then I’LL say I LOVE CLASH.I even disappointed why bajtao masatni got postponed because highest grosser is nothing but a association of an actor with big director+brand+south remake+multiactors,that’s it nothing else.and this game had been played by salamn+amir for last couple of years .INDIA lost to Bangladesh that doesn’t mean IT is weaker than Bangladesh.all that it needs to do certain changes as well change the strategies of game planning,that’s all.similarly with KING SRK,salman+amir never was even comparable any day with THE BADSHAH OF BOLLYWOOD SRK.

    as also I warned date of RAEES will not change.now see the result,what happened?????now my advise to KING KHAN’S MADE YRF to back off their relwae date taht’ll be better for both YRF and south remake star salamn.

    amoor fans—-please KING KHAN postpone your DILWALE ,please don’t release it in our Raju papa’s spoon fed star amoor

    salu fans—-please KING KHAN postpone your RAEES,so that our south remake non actor can get a release.

    KING KHAN ‘S FANS—-HE IS THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD,whatever DATE HE CHOOSES,other have to stay out if that date,that’s better for their business.

    @sky,better to not talk about openings.because even raju hirani and boman,omi,amir starrer 3i which only started with 9cr opening.and also please don’t forget about the bad days of Bollywood when salman/amir’s movies opening was opened even lower than emraan hashmi’s films.so better you please don’t give knowledge about openings.and the things about which are you talking about why KING KHAN’S movies opened with lower?because HE take on those superstars in a CLASH at their peak period of success.in 90’s(99),givinda was a big superstar along with BIGB gave huge opening and such a huge Suoeratars alone take on KING SRK,still they lost.then about hr becomes a overnight suoerstar when he was at his peak after knph for the reason why mission Kashmir took good opening still they lost.and the only clash HE lost against a masala movie Indian with HIS OFFBEAT CLASSIC ASOKA with didn’t has entertainment quotient.similar film was SWADES which is failure because it has zero entertainment quotients unlike Lagaan which has high entertainment sequences still it couldn’t even comes half tough competition to Gadar.if KING KHAN would have in Lagaan then It would be even greater may would have beat Gadar too which couldn’t be done by amir.and some fools are talking about south remake crap ghajini and CLASSIC RNBDJ.is there was a clash happened between these 2?????KING SRK already defeated amir in a clash in 90’s in ahat vs RAM JAANE in a CLASH.but amir never won against KING KHAN ever in CLASH ever and he couldn’t do that any day because he doesn’t have that potency.and KING KHAN took on those superstars in their peak period and won too that’s why HE IS THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD.and the things you’re talking about YRF/DP ,their 90% success till date is due to KING KHAN.in fact their success started with KING KHAN,so better you talk things by using some logic.and the BRAND YRF/DP logo you’re talking about,that becomes brand after DARR,K2H2 after many superstars like BIGB/ANIL KAPOOR failed in that banners.and also amir himself responsible for not getting chance in YRF,becaus he chooses some expiry romance movies over some challenging roles like DARR,and still he coukdn’tnplay such CHALLENGING NEGATIVE ROLE that he still couldn’t do for which reason he couldn’t match with KING KHAN’S VERSATILITY..and still I couldn’t understand which kind of cult lover you’re ,who always a salman movie over KING KHAN’S movie always,ROFL..

    @gj007,still you’re in a doubt to watch which movie ,while the choice is in between National Award winning director’s movies and a bhojpuri director whose last directed movies gunday was the lowest rated movie if Bollywood ever,lol.and I’m telling this thing irrespective of any SUPERSTSARS,at least hopefully you’ll not turn like your hypocrite friend @sky who is now trying to troll RAEES in the name of DON3.on if he have trolled also,wh he is praising sultan whose director is directed gunday,tagt’s the most astonishing thing,ROFL..any smart person/neutral audience/a CLASS LOVER will never do this/or never choose salman over KING KHAN if he claims at least himself as a cult watcher ,ROFL.

  • Let the clash happen…..!!!
    we will see the results next year !
    right now doesn’t matter what sallu fans
    are saying…..!!!
    Raees : 600 crore + worldwide

  • Salman is on the peak of his carier. SRK movies does well but underperfomes than predictions.
    so SRK will step down for sure.

  • @Indicine, Have you lost your mind?
    Aitraaz – HIT
    M.Kasmir – Semi-Hit against Adi director who fame DDLJ. lol
    Sos – HIT against Yash last movie, Kat, A.R rahman, Gulzar, more screen.
    BMCM – HIT
    Indian vs Ashoka, Askoka disater…. Indian 3rd highest grosser.
    Coming to point,
    If retish or srk decided to release on EID then sure YRF adi make danger position of srk movie Fan, either fan release this xmas or fan release before eid(ramadan)of 2016.
    Anyway if clash then Sultan is winners.

  • @sami Even if Raees turns out to be a great movie it will still be a huge flop like Srk’s other great movies like MNIK, Swades, Paheli etc.

  • Only Raees will Release on Next Eid 2016… No salman because people were getting boar to watch his movie in every Eid again and again…

  • If Salman can release his Prdp Movie on Diwali. Than SRK can also release his RAEES movie on Eid 2016. Because Festivals Date are not For only On Hero Or Banners… So Eid 2016_Only Raees…

  • @abc

    Attention seeking stunt may be. I hate Aamir khan’s real life decisions, but his movies are worth the price of ticket.

    Anyways, i am happy you still remember my 2 months old statements. Shows the amount of free time you have in your life :)

  • @Vijay, for God sake don’t compare ghajini and rab ne banadi jodi…know your facts before to comment. Just before 2 weeks of SRK Rab ne release there was a terrorist attack in Mumbai. And the whole nation is in shock and no-one willing to go out public places… But srk did not postpone his releases date nor did any promotion. In contrary aamir Khan promoted his ghajini immensely by asking the theater guys to do hair cut like ghajini…

    It was srk superstardom that brought crowd to theater and that helped aamir. Remember without attacks it was supposed to be SRK Rab ne movie to be first 100 crore movie. Anyways never compare srk with any one….if you compare him with others then try comparing their entire career and not hand picked few movies…

  • @sht eofl you sound more funny dude, Gadar no doubt collected 3 times than Lagaan but lagaan was universally accepted movie and 3rd highest grosser of the year after gadar,k3g.Asoka was a critically and commercial failed movie,being different zoner the collection might be not nowhere to a commercial film but at lease being critically success which it wasn’t. Regarding jthj, srk-yashji previous 3 films verdict of darr,dtph and vz were superhit, so expectation was a superhit minimum as well as better accepted movie, jthj neither was a superhit nor appreacted much both by critic as well as audience, SOS was no where in competition against srk-yash ji combo still it’s verdict is same as jthj. Moreover jthj was 8th and sos was 10th highest grosser of the year, so by standing firmly against a legend director and a superstar combination and manage equaivalebt success itself shows you a winner. Get it dude.
    Moreover 3 years later Ashu ji next release swades collected half of lagaan collection and considered as dud at bo while it still terned as classic while Asoka (many even don’t know about this movie).

  • Indicine seems to have misinterpreted hidwani’s tweet and if hidwani is wise enough he would definitely change the release date or else if decide’s to go ahead and clash his ‘RA.1ees’ with ‘sultan’ then ‘hidwani’ may become ‘beekwani’!

  • @Sky 1.57pm.
    Excellent!!
    Even NEUTRAL fans will concur with that logical analysis of yrs even though it was a well deserved REPLY!
    not cos am a HRITIKIAN or DEVGANO for LIFE but cos be u any fan of any Star what is important is your level of understanding d Actor you admire and the reality of d market structure and economics in d industry. U don’t have to BIAS or FOOLISH just to defend something d whole world is aware of . Don’t waste yr time on replies again from that source! U r an Aamir fan so just keep yr Class intact by ignoring PESTS.

  • “Speculation on#Raeesrelease date! It all ends this Eid.. Chalo time for me to take a dip in the warm waters of”
    lol did u guys check his tweet ?? what does his statement mean?? he is going to announce raees release date this eid. and the admin manupulited the statement lol great job admin

  • This clash won’t happen.
    I will love to watch Raes next Eid Insha Allah. Am more inquisitive this time for Raes d name sounds innovative. Wil watch Sultan cos of Salman definitely but most likely Raes wil b my 1st choice along with Mohendaro..and Shivaay

  • @SSS
    Wallahi you are so GROSS and a total disgrace!! U talk worse than even a market woman selling fish! Wen will u grow up? Have some respect forSHAH RUKH pls!! He is a Classy Superstar but why making him a target always for other fans? If u really idolize him give him some respect and talk with an AURA God!! U must b a big fool to use words like “our King snatches” why shd som1 of SRK status snatch? WORST is commenting on LAGAAN!!
    WHO R U TO SUGGEST IF IT WAS SRK IN LAGAAN IT WLDV SURPASSED GADAR??
    U r a LUNATIC! LAGAAN was meant for high entertainment sequences or wat? U mean wat?? One phrase for u cos this d LAST time am gonnawaste my energy on a fool like u. GROW UP AND WAKE UP!! If yr fan followers can’t warn U then it’s a pity!! Never NEVER can u dare to think that WE will ever DARE to think 1nc that SRK IS BIGGER THAN AAMIR KHAN!! Not in this GENERATION.

  • srk sir upcoming movies.
    dilwale 300cr domestic 600cr worldwide.
    raees 270cr and 550cr.
    fan 250cr and 500cr.

  • @lejhandu amoor khan,bad news for salmir fans is that RAEES fixed to EID 2016.

    again worst news of all time is for salman fans is that after 13 years ,salman is again will defeat in CLASH against KING KHAN.because sultan is directed by a bhojpuri director of gunday that will run shorter and will killed after a week,while RAEES will emerge as THE WINNER,because IT’S CLASS MOVIE DIRRCTED BY NATIONAL AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR.

  • SRK bring it on……..we love to see the clash please dont back off we love you…….you are the king of clash unlike other 2 khan they always try to release their film solo the 2 khan are coward

  • @sky

    Would to love to see fan in the theater as well. Haven’t been following it recently, so I don’t know the progress of that film.

    @sss

    I have already said that I am looking forward to Raees. But it also depends on its release date. I wont be able to catch it on screen if they release it in August or September. (As Sidwani said, we will talk about release date on next EID)

  • @javed

    My biggest prediction for 2016 ;

    fan; less than 100 crores
    overseas-less than 150 crore
    worldwide – less than 300 crore

    raees : less than 150 crore
    overseas-less than 100 crore
    worldwide – less than 300 crore

    sultan; more than raees but less than 200 crore
    overseas-more than raees but less than 150 crore
    worldwide -more than raees but less than 400 crore

    dangal; more than raees but less than 250
    overseas-more than fan but less than 200 crore
    worldwide – more than raees & fan but less than 500 crore

    Shivaay: more than raees but less than 200
    overseas-equal to fan 150 crore
    worldwide – more than raees & fan but less than 400 crore

    MOHENJO DARO (?????) :

    BHARATWARSH ? more than 400 crore

    OVERSEAS? more than 350 crore

    WORLDWIDE? more than 800 crore

    mark my word all feared of avoiding eid or deepawali or Christmas srk fans

    fan and raees both are going to be disasters after srk’s back to back far far crappiest films like
    jthj
    ce
    hny

  • @javed. Mohenjodaro will be the biggest success of 2016, and will be a critically acclaimed classic. Only hrithik can take a 150 crore budget risky film. Your boy took a small risk with ra.one and it turned to be a disaster!

  • there wont be any clash…..come on guys, we all have been following bollywood since long…..

    btw indicine i agree with the posts that ritesh probably meant that he would clarify the release date this eid….ie 2015

  • Raees vs Sulthan king khan vs dabang khan both are giant stars interesting to see the clash in happens both films will not cross 200 crore mark for sure. The difference between 2 movie is very less may be 5 to 10 crores.
    but toddler ranveer taking on Sharukh khan ROFL SLB u hav guts man ………….iam waiting
