Sanjay Leela Bhansali announces his next for Christmas 2017

In a game that has become all about booking big release dates in advance, ‘Bajirao Mastani’ director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has announced his next film for Christmas 2017. His film could be up against Rajkumar Hirani’s  Sanjay Dutt biopic starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.

Aamir Khan is unlikely to have a release next year, but with Bhansali announcing his film for Christmas, the three major festive dates for 2017 are all filled up.

Two of them taken by Salman (one confirmed, one isn’t) and the other by Bhansali’s next magnum opus – he hasn’t yet announced the star cast of his film or its title.

Update: Aanand L Rai’s next film starring Shah Rukh Khan was also announced for Christmas next year.

Festive weekends 2017

  • Eid 2017 – Salman Khan in Kabir Khan directed film (confirmed)
  • Diwali 2017 – Ajay Devgn in Sons of Sardar (confirmed) + Salman Khan in Rajkumar Santoshi directed film (not officially announced)
  • Christmas 2017 – Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next (confirmed) + Aanand L Rai’s next film Shah Rukh Khan (confirmed, but star cast hasn’t been announced – SRK has confirmed in an interview) + Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanjay Dutt biopic starring Ranbir Kapoor (not officially announced)

  • Eid is not single release. Salman will clash with Golmaal 4 or Singham 3. Yet to be confirmed the exact one but one of them. Salman is too greedy even at this age!!

  • Khans are the biggest insecure actors in Bollywood today…They should leave one holiday from EDX for 2.0 as its budget is massive…Stupid Khans…Even they don’t give space to the future superstars like Ranveer Singh,Ranbir Kapoor,Sushant Singh Rajput…

  • Now Salman depends on krk review who is biggest chutiyape of this world Bhai logo much to standard badhao apna

  • @Syed 2:18 pm : Thanks for the update buddy. Your review has increased my curiosity , but unfortunately I will have to wait till tomorrow evening. Since we are going in group and few od them have work assigned to them in early Indian hours, we can’t make it FDFS due to their prior commitments.
    But my FAN “experience” will be out by tomorrow night for sure.

    @Diya-kar 2:19 pm : How come a beggar like you, who waits for pirated DVD of a movie, managed to watch FAN. That too, when it’s not yet released in India.
    Stop spreading negativity you moron.

    @Anand 2:27 pm : Those are behaviors of a loser, not a king. A king should have that confidence that whenever he releases his movies, fans will come in hordes to watch him.
    The same confidence is missing from your bhabhijan after Flop Ho.

  • So the race for booking festival dates in advance is getting exciting day by day . If we talk about this year then we are still not sure when will Raees release Eid, Diwali or Non Holiday . In 2017 Salman and Labor are coming on Eid which will be produced by Salman Khan . Salman and Rajkumar Santoshi are planning to come together on Diwali 2017 which will be produced by Alvira Khan but it has not been confirmed . For Christmas 2017 RK and Raju Hirani are coming with the Biopic on Sanjay Dutt . Anand L Rai and SRK are also planning to come together on Christmas 2017 in what promises to be a Dwarf Love Story . Now SLB is also coming on Christmas 2017 after the success of BM . So the race will get heated up in the years to come .

  • @2.20pm

    He has Xmas next year.

    I doubt if SLB will continue from where he stops simply because I don’t think Ranbir shares any similarity with Sanjay. Might be wrong but just what I feel. Looking forward to seeing Sos…clash with Salman will always be tough but superconfident Aj will not back off. Anys 2017 will be another year of high level entertainment.

  • @Syed, loved ur review bro …
    Does it have repeat value ???
    Which half is better 1st half or second one ???? Waiting for ur answer !!!!!!

  • @ChipKaali, what about Ready, you fool??? A BLOCKBUSTER in capital letters!!!
    And about Jai Ho, it didnt have any advantages of the holiday with Republic Day falling on Sunday!! So, it was earned 112 crores. It didnt have any advantages except Salman!!
    What about MNIK, u fool? SRK+Kajol+KJo+Dharma… Yet 75 crores!!! Shame!!
    Just wait and watch! FAN will flop!

  • My take is that NO one is God….
    not even Christopher Nolan…lolz

    Moreover, Ranbir is going through bad phase….so, its a big question whether he will even be a part of Sanju’s biopic……Also, unlike other genres, biopic is the toughest as no one is completely happy and trying to make all happy can backfire too….look at the Mary Kom movie, what a let down there !!

  • @beingaban it’s a hyper extended ‘o’ which Bhai deserves for his ‘loose’ films & actions.
    “Looser.”

  • @haz, in which world was ‘Ready’ the 2nd highest grosser of 2011 ?
    Check the list of highest grossers 2011.
    Ra. One was the highest Worldwide grosser & the 2nd highest domestic grosser of 2011. Get your facts right.

  • 1st Salman is friend of ajay devgn so he will not release his movie on diwali….
    So only ajay sir son of sardaar will release on diwali 2017…
    Film with santoshi is just rumours….
    Bhansali look like very overconfident…
    Why he is releasing every film on Christmas… May be he is casting… Hrithik or Salman

  • Diwali 2017 Salman movie is still a rumor as nothing is from officials.

    Ajay already announced SOS on Diwali 2017.

    So i think SOS will take this slot.

    But its way to go as Ajay will finish Shivaay then Badshao then a Remo Disuja movie…& then SOS.

    So i think it Salman-Rajkumar Santoshi film gets confirmed then Salman & Ajay will sort out the dates by sitting so this clash is almost adverted.

    For X’mas if Aamir film gets ready then he will take this slot & others may take their decision.

    For Eid its Salman-Kabir movie

    but i think some one should announce their film for Eid till mid April 2017 & then postpone it…it will keep his film to be in news for sometime just like makers of a movie did it this year.

  • Rajkumar Santoshi and Salman Khan coming together omg ! Rajji is one of the Finest Directors Hope its not a rumor !

  • @anandi the duplicate, haha comparing a republic day 2014 masala release which was touted as a ‘grand comeback of Bhai’ by rickshawala’s to a sheer ‘non-holiday’ drama which was a February release is funny enough to prove that Bhaitards are illiterate.
    Now that you have mentioned MNIK, just a few weeks before the release of MNIK, released one of Bhai’j mega flop Veer which earned 37 cr. nett & 57 cr gross WW ???. The movie ended up with the investors of the movie having suicidal tendencies.
    Moreover, MNIk was a HIT in India & ATBB overseas recording more than 200 cr WW collections.
    But but, Veer > MNIK. But but, 57 cr WW > 200 cr WW. But but, Mega disaster Veer > Cult classic MNIK.
    #Rickshawala logic ?

  • @Bolts
    What’s your problem with Salman and Ajay. That should be the most ego-less clash that will take place in recent times. Am.sure both can even promote their rivals movie without any fuss. That’s how relaxed I presume they both will be even with a clash so stop speaking otherwise!

  • dear kaali,after fan failure don’t give excuses.. dekhte hain overactor kya karta hai non holiday pe

  • I don’t think Salman’ next with Santoshi will clash with Ajay,there are still other good release dates remaining which have not yet been booked.
    Salman + Santoshi this one am really excited,coz Santoshi is an amaizing and critacally acclaimed director.
    So apparently christmas 2017 has 3 big films,i think one of them will either prepone or postpone,but a clash will surely happen.

  • Ajay has Shivaay,Badshaho and Remo Dsouza before doing SOS 2, where as Salman has Sultan and Majdhar before Santoshi’s film,i think Salman & Santoshi film will come on Diwali 2017 SOS 2 may come in 2018.

  • I don’t think SOS 2 will clash with Salman’s film since Ajay has Badshaho and Remo Dsouza’s next 2017 before starting SOS 2,i think it may release in 2018.

  • EID 2018 Salman Khan
    Diwali 2018 Salman Khan
    Christmas 2019 Salman Khan

    hahahahaha remaining actors are only for sale mangous and pumpkins
