Shah Rukh Khan hints at Raees moving away from Eid 2016

Shah Rukh Khan has hinted that Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment’s Raees, could be pushed to a later date if Yash Raj Films’ Sultan is ready for a Eid release next year.

DNA India, which carried an article earlier this week that Sultan was postponed, have quoted Shah Rukh as saying “I guess we (Raees) could shift. But I don’t know the readiness of Sultan. Raees will be ready in January, in like 20 days. Plus, they all are friends – Adi (Aditya Chopra), Salman, Ali (Abbas Zafar), I know them all”

A source at YRF had informed us on Wednesday that their film would be ready in time for Eid. Sultan director Ali Abbas Zafar had also spoken about requiring only 90 more days to complete the film.

From a trade point of view, the big clash between Raees and Sultan does not make any sense whatsoever. Both makers will lose money and no one stands to gain. The battle will only be about egos, much like the clash between Bajirao Mastani and Dilwale.

Even averting clashes has now become a ego game, because it was Excel Entertainment who first finalised their film for Eid 2016.

For Shah Rukh, it’s also about spacing out his films. FAN releases mid-April and releasing Raees less than 3 months after the film, wouldn’t be a great idea.

  • I want tis clash…its a fair clash..both r action films,no popular heroine and director..
    rice vs super sultan
    media’s man vs people’s man

  • Yrf backstab srk….now he will not have choice to release raees on eid as if clash is going to happen then yrf will booked screen with the help of FAN.
    It will be like…..don’t know how to express.

  • SRK v/s YRF not possible because both Srk Adi chopra are best frnd currently doing Fan n may do film with yrf thereafter

  • Jise jo kehena hey kehene do. Acting & content will alway will win.A well made film will always do well.holiday doesn’t matter.the first time i saw pk trailer i was damn sure it would be something else & i got the same feeling when i heard srk’s fiery voice in raees teaser & my god his entry was something that will always make u clap from the heart..i mean it…i dnt know about quantity bt my feelings say quality wise it will obviously be remembered as something special…srk is at his vintage best when is playing a baddie ..

  • @Chuhe the Real JACK 9:26 pm : You got this as your habit to get trolled everywhere. I thought being my minion , you will leanr something, but sad that you are still the same plain fool.
    In March-April, Rohit Shetty and Team opted the locations etc and took few shots without SRK-Kajol. Later, SRK-Kajol joined the crew in June. So even if we take June into consideration, it becomes 6 month from now. I don’t know which mathematical book teaches you that 12-6 =3/4 . Lol

    @Joker Bhushan 9:41 pm : Don’t jump into joy. Wait for the official confirmation. And excuse me, “India wull celebrate Eid with Bhai” ?
    your Bhai has the record of ruining the highest number of Eids with craps like Bodyguard, ETT , Kick etc. So stop cracking jokes.

    @Jhakas Bhojpuri idiot 10:00 pm : Its the star power of SRK that movie is still collecting huge and will eventually end up with a Hit/Superhit tag, though it faced lots of negative campaigns and fierce competition from a critically acclaimed movie like BM.
    Had your non-actor Khan released PRDP along with BM, it would have struggled to cross even Jai Ho’s collection.

    @Hyderabadi 10:01 pm : Jump kiddo jump. But be ready for another Don VS Jaan-E-Mann next Eid.

    @Anand 10:37 pm : Who said Fan and Raees were completed before Dilwale? Raees schedule will be over in Jan whereas a lot of VFX was required for Fan (For SRK’s fan avatar), so it got delayed. Son’t talk rubbish without knowing the fact.

    @Bajan 11:14 pm : Wait for final confirmation and then you distribute the “Certificate of daring and honesty” lol

  • Sultan

    EID 2016

    new teaser coming soon..it wil confirm the release date

  • @Tigers ghulam ‘spamzone’

    All we want on EID is bhai n preferably a film of any standard but mostly this is our requirement:- 1- bhai, 2- good music and 3- a film…!

    We dont want a repeat of 2013 when in bhais absence we got fed crap…!

  • Correction Salman and SRK are not friends they are acquaintances. SRK can’t be friends with anyone he only knows how to use people. As far as this statement is concerned he says it so he can fool the trade, his fans because he is manipulating the circuits.
    However, he can’t harm Salman because we are all aware of his deceitful games and as they say in our world we know how to bind and rebuke the enemy of those we care about.
    Anyway he must do what he must do. But he must also be careful how he is plotting against Salman because what he does in darkness will surely come to light.

  • I am reading comments about Salman is this Srk is this. C’mon guys show respect to these superstars who are making name of India known worldwide. Even though I am a SRK fan, I have respect for Salman, Aamir and other stars. Stop this childlike behavior.
    Sincerely,
    SRK fan from Germany

  • SRK should release RAEES with FAN on the same date. Both of these movies total may cross 250 crores thus beating his CE record. 125 crores each movie.

  • I can’t believe that the so called ‘king of clashes’ is scared. Ha ha ha. SRK pls don’t postpone ur Raees. I trully want this clash to happen so that I can sit back and laugh as SRK loses hundreds of crorees all the way and Sultan wins it all. A piece of advice to SRK is, ‘ don’t ever attempt any movie clash except it’s with Ranbir or Tushar Kapoor (flop actors)’. Thanks for seeing reality

  • Shahrurkh has made a wise move by postponing raees after dilwale and bm clash. Because at the present, Salman is the king of box office.

  • @bajanisi,aukat men reh.RAEES HAS THE STORY THAT is enough to thrash sultana daku.when you watched KING KHAN of reviewing RAEES?????don’t tell story here.

    And BTW IT’S NOT at all confirmed news.and what bgrade directors actor’s sultana daku’s content is?it’s too will collapse like brothers,wait and watch!!!!

    KING OF CLASH WILL SURELY TAKE THE EID 2016 WITH STORM.

    keep dreaming lallutards ,after EID 2016,you’ll commit suicide.

    Aukat of lalluman in clash

    vs ranbir—-failed
    Vs emraan—-failed
    Vs fardeen—-failed

    VS DON—–raped(jaaneman)

    ,ROFL.still lallutards are dreaming.

    Even if lallu reserved the date,WE’LL SNATCH EID 2016 from him because BADSHAH WILL FO THAT WHATEVER COMES TO HIS MIND,BECAUSE HE IS THE SUPREME RULER.

    I’M STILL LAUGHING,I THINK KING KHAN is playing with the mind of lallutards,ROFL.IT’S REALLY VERY ENTERTAINING.and bechare lallutards are dreaming on day time,so much unlimited fun.

    BADSHAH KE HAATH SE VACHNA MUSHKIL HI NAHI NAMUMKIN HAIN.

    REAL SULTAN/BADSHAH’S GHULAM IS—-fake sultana daku.no need to worry.

    KING KHAN RULES BOLLYWOOD.

    @bajanisi,KING KHAN helped peoples a lot unlike your criminal idol who took their friends for hunting chinkara during hssh shhoting,and slapping actresses ,KING KHAN can never do such type of gira hua harkats.

    HE’LL not only will harm salman but also going to end his career on NEXT EID.because next time no protests/negativity will come to save your fake sultana daku’s back from KING KHAN’S HAND.

    @fayez,then how can you came out of trauma when ALONE DON thrashed jaaneman consisting so called two superstars,aukat ho ek kaise ki Aur batein Marta HAIN karodo ki?,ROFL.

    @farnesol lily,shut up you aukatless’s fan.WHEN HE CONFIRMED OF taking RAEES back?????may be in your dreams.I laughed a lot when DON earned crores after crores and bhilari bhaijaan’s jaaneman lost it’s base investment.on NEXT EID too,I’LL still that will laugh while KING KHAN/KING OF CLASHES will again thrash so badly of your king of losers in clash(lallu).

    BADSHAH KHAN IS COMING.

    BANIYE KA DIMAAG AUR MIYANBHAI KI DARING.

    EID 2016:AA RAHA HOON.

  • Both are very good movie. Like today Both movies are doing equal business. I wish Sultan and Raees will do same. But what affect is there posibility of 250 cr is impossible because of 50% less screen then solo release.

    All the best for both. I will watch both.

  • @indicine I thought a decision was taken not to allow anyone on this site to call Salman a criminal again. Then why are you allowing @sss to do is it because he makes numerous comments. Don’t you think you are being a little bit hypocritical in allowing him and@xzone

  • @mechanic:
    If Raees has story to defeat Sultan then why your queen is pushing it to another date??? Raees might has story but srk does not have stardom of standing before Megastar Bhai.

    Kal ka loundaa Ranveer beats your star. Still you are chanting king of clash, queen of clash!!! Get well soon shameless creature.

    If inability of giving a HGOTY for 9 consecutive years makes someone ruler then yes queen rules. If inability to give a 230cr grosser makes someone bigger then yeah your srk is the biggest star of Bollywood!!!!…. LOL.
