Sanjay Leela Bhansali to take on Shahrukh Khan, again, this December!

Both Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, along with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali have now confirmed that their ambitious period drama, Bajirao Mastani, will release on December 18 2015. The film, which Bhansali had first envisioned as a Salman Khan – Aishwarya Rai starrer, also stars Priyanka Chopra in the lead.

Interestingly, the last time a Shahrukh Khan starrer clashed with a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, Deepika was making her debut in Om Shanti Om. 8 years later, Deepika has quickly climbed to the top of the ladder, and Shahrukh continues to be one of the biggest stars in the industry.

Firoz Nadiadwala, the producer of Hera Pheri 3, has also announced his comedy for Christmas. The film stars Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty in the lead.

  • I don’t think that SLB and Feroz Nadiadwala has made a wise descision. Lets see what will the the date for Dilwale 18th or 25th

  • It looks like SRk will now postpone his Dilwale to a later date.. Both HR3 and bajiraw Mastani are big movies.. this poor guy srk can never get a free run like other 2 khans..

  • Lol..wot has happened to dese people..arent they afraid that their magnum opus might fail miserable..coz of the dilwale storm…anyways i wanna say let herapheri 3 n bajirao mastani release on the specified date n we will see wot will happen.
    In Sha Allah shahrukh will destroy both filns left right n centre

  • Let them do whatever they want !
    But I want srk sir to release dilwale on
    18 December or 23 December …!!!

  • Bajirao will flop badly if this happens..
    Costs are high,ranveer is not a big star yet.It will completely rely on deepika n PC.

  • SRK,Ranveer Singh,Kajol and Varun Dhawan….Too much overacting this Christmas…lol. ;)

  • Will Watch Baziraoo mastaanii .
    The way Ajay defeated SRK .
    Ranveer Will Do the Same….!

  • Ha ha ha ha….come all who want to clash.because WE will welcome them with OPEN HEART.KING OF CLASH is waiting at THE TOP for THE ENEMY’S DESTRUCTION.

  • Picture abhi baki hai mere dost, mark my words Bajirao mastani will’nt release in 2015.

  • When Christmas comes, they all will postpone their movies because this Christmas a tsunami is coming called Dilwale. the names of SRK and Kajol are enough.

  • I don’t wanna want any highest grosser though IT would have surely give if wouldn’t face any clash.now want I want is KING KHAN to destruct my favourite comedy series Hera pheri along with overrated bhansali’s brm just like made fly it in the air just like vehicles are flying in ROHIT SHETTY’S FILM.noe PEOPLE will see more ouatimd,madras cafe,satyagraha.let’s dace the CLASH,feel opponent pain in your arsh.

    I never learnt to cry when OUR STAR will face THE CLASH,because I knew it small actor’s habit to release with KING KHAN’S FILM so that their flop film will at least get the won and becomes an average/HIT.NOW HISTORY will again see an EPIC CLASH,in WHICH THE ONE WARRIOR ARMY—-KING KHAN how will thrash,smash the opponent in hell.KING KHAN sar pe KAFAN bandhke chalne wale AKELA SHER HAIN,Jo UNKE raaste mein aayega saala MIT jaayega.

  • All Bollywood actors and directors try their best to spoil king khan films.But every time king destroy thier films.No one release his film b4 one month or after one month Ama khan film.This is true clash with king and all other.but yet King khan films rule.No other actor afford this kind of hypothesy but king does not care.Coz he is Badshah of Bollywood since 22 years not only WD 2 or 3 films lol.
    Bhansali is good director but when competing king he is zero as we know wt happened WD Sanwariya.
    So bhasali plz release ur film at the same day BT I know u have not courage after getting previous experience lol.
    I challenge all other dwarf actor or 3 0r 4 hit films actor to release their film with any other ordinary film I know they have no courage.As AMA Khan always release his film at that time to get more holidays.Very very insecure actor he is.
    How u compare king with like these kind of coward actors.
    King only rules.
    Let c.
    waiting Biggest film Dilwale.

  • dilwaale and bb both will b blockbusters.if gabbar,piku,twmr releasing in a gap of 4weeks cn bcm success then y can’t bm and dilwaale releasing in the BEST period of the year become blockbuster

  • I would like SLB to release bajirao mastani on 11th December..this will give it a clear 2 week run and after the release of dilwale it can still collect on decent number of screens depending on content

  • Luck has betrayed us yet again !
    Just one question to God …
    Why SRK movies only suffer a clash , why God why ???
    Salman movies get 2-3 weeks free run ; and forget the other Khan , who always gets 4 free weeks .
    Why God , why ???

  • Baburao Mastani will get Below average opening , because everyone would be saving their money for the real ‘movie’ on Christmas …

  • This is a big news . You cannot call it a clash but it will be exciting . Hera Pheri 3 is not looking the same without Akshay but it is a franchise and nobody can deny its popularity . If the trailer is entertaining then Sham and Baburao will bring audiences to theatres . I did not like Ram Leela at all and that is the biggest reason i am not waiting for BM . As for Dilwale i know it stars SRK, Kajol and Varun and is directed by Rohit Shetty but his movies have been pretty below average . Bol Bachchan was the last movie of Shetty i liked . CE was bad and SR was pretty average and was nothing like Singham . So if Rohit can make a good entertaining movie then i will be happy and of course it will do good business . I don’t think anybody should be worried . HP 3 and BM are Non Holiday releases and Dilwale is a Holiday release . The next thing is BM and HP 3 will affect each other in the 1st week . If BM turns out to be a bad movie and people do not like HP 3 then people will watch Dilwale for sure . The reasons why CE became a ATG :
    1. The collaboration of RS and SRK for the first time .
    2. Eid Release .
    3. SRK and Deepika for the 2nd time after OSO .
    4. OUATIMD was a stupid movie and was a flop . So CE did not get affected in the 2nd week .
    5. Madras Cafe was absolutely awesome and brilliant but it was not commercial and such movies don’t do well .
    6. Satyagraha was a average movie and people did not wanted to watch any Ajay’s movie after Himmatwala .

    So all these factors worked for CE . So i don’t think why Dilwale can’t be an ATG . The reality is Dilwale will severely dent HP 3 and BM in the 2nd week . But HP 3 i think will be a limited budget movie and i think can cover costs within 1st week . But on the other hand BM is looking like an expensive movie so it will be difficult to cover costs within 1st week . Let’s see what happens . Everything looking competitive .

    Unfortunately in Brothers my young Lion King Sid too will have to somehow counter the overacting almost joker like nautanki acting of Gobar Akki but Im sure with 1 superman punch Sid can put that old dog to bed and carry Brothers beyond a mediocre 60cr figure which akki fans have become accustomed too…

  • @6:58pm

    Any specific reason why you dont fancy the 19th or 20th or 21st or even 22nd of Dec…. dont movies get shown on those dates in Prisonstan sorry Pakistan….

    PS let indian movies release on dates applicable to indian moviemakers decisions n whims n stick to what you guys know only which is swing bowling n thats about it….

  • So SLB is really willing to take on; Rohit Shetty (blockbuster director), SRK-Kajol (iconic pair), Varun Dhawan (very rapidly rising new star), Kriti Sanon (fresh face on the block) and that too in December where everybody will be looking for an entertainer and not a period film….SLB has lost it

  • @ bajirao ka thullu – this is slb’s dream project and earlier he want to cast salman aish in bajirao mastani last decade. Dilwale will face big problem of screen count if clash happen.

  • i hope he changes the date for bajirao and avoids clash with dilwale or i hope people refuse to watch it or ban it.

  • Hello guys
    I m bulli fan so my schedule for rest of the year is ….
    1 . trending srk in twitter without reason
    2. Predict 900 cr. For diwale as we predict 600 cr. For hny
    3. Saying that rohit shetty is no1. Direct… it change with srk change the directors. ..

  • We Brahmin people watch Bajirao Mastani because Bajirao Peshve he is Brahmin . In Maharashtra B M cllrction will be huge . I will watch BM first day first show .
