SRK vs Akshay Kumar: Toilet Ek Prem Katha moves to 11 Aug 2017

It’s going to be yet another mega-clash at the box office this year. After Shah Rukh Khan vs Hrithik Roshan during the Republic Day weekend, it’ll be SRK vs Akshay Kumar during the much-bigger Independence Day weekend.

Akshay Kumar’s Toilet Ek Prem Katha, a medium budget film directed by Shree Narayan Singh, will take on Shah Rukh Khan’s untitled biggie directed by Imtiaz Ali.

Shah Rukh was earlier involved in yet another box-office battle when the makers of Raees averted the clash with Salman Khan’s Sultan and announced their film on on the Republic Day weekend – which was taken by Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil.

The Independence Day weekend will see yet another big-clash at the box office. The circumstances are very similar too – Rustom was the smaller film like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, while Mohenjo Daro was a big-budget film much like the untitled film featuring SRK and Anushka.

The trailers of both films will be out in June.

  • hope Akki will win this battle!!! why the hell no one is daring to clash with Salman Khan!!! here every actor is fighting for a small holiday, on other hand he is taking two biggest festivals

  • He is the star with probbaly the most clashes but comes out on top every time irrespective of content…

    The clashes include big victories against rivals Aamir Khan in 1995 (Ram Jaane v Akele Hum Akele Tum) and Salman Khan (Don v Jaan-E-Mann). In 2015 the Dilwale v Bajirao Mastani clash is seen as a defeat but if the wider picture is seen with Worldwide numbers its a comfortable victory for Dilwale and this was only due to the clout of Shahrukh Khan as the film was not liked. Even in India it would have been much closer if the intolerance debate did not happen at time of release which cost the film around 15% business. Shahrukh Khan has probably defeated every other major star out there in a clash…

  • Why TEPK is pospted indicine ? any way there one thing good in this news that jagga jassos has find the perfect date

  • Independence Day is a Perfect weekend for Toilet: Ek Prem Katha
    Definitely like last year this year Akshay’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha will dominate over #Ring #Rehnuma Whatever…

  • Toilet: Ek Prem Katha story is about Cleaning India and that genre will give some patriotism specially when it will release on Independence Day weekend SRK’s untitle movie will remain untitle in front of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha because it is content oriented movie

  • Megastar Salman has occupied the TWO biggest festivals Eid and Christmas. But some chindichors are fighting for tiny release dates like Republic day, independence day…Hahaha…
    Too Much Funnnnnn!!!!!

  • Looks like after hrithik now its akshays turn to end his career !!
    I dont understand why these days bollywood actors are not letting SRKs movie to get a solo release !!
    They all are afraid that he will once again rule !!
    And akki is pushing his luck this time !!
    Meanwhile bhaitards are so happy !! Lol

  • Nothing much to see here. Akshay was the first to announce his film Crack on this date, now since Crack is delayed they’re releasing TEPK. Much better date than what it was previously with lots of holidays to back it up, patriotic elements will help too.

  • @ zuheeb, then why raees backed out of clash with sultan, if srk had guts he would have stuck there, alas his true colors were exposed, also dont bring sunny paaji here, every one knows at his prime sunny bulldozed saruk, have you forgotten asoka debacle, sunny was way ahead of all the khans, so shut up

  • Few hits and akki thinks he can take on SRK !!
    Come on akki indian public wont let a canadian beat an Indian !!

  • As far as this guy is concerned
    Don vs Jaaneman

    Veer Zaara vs Aitraaz

    Daava vs Yes boss

    Sab lost and srk won Opening plus lifetime

    So dude all set for your clash

    Two self made superstars

    Srk and clash a more better love story than Ddlj

    Ab mazza aega

  • Gigastar fans will start giving excuses like their gigastar faces clash, doesn’t release his movies on EDX… That’s why he is not able deliver 300cr/400cr grossers. I want to ask them a simple question…. WTH has stopped your gigastar to release his movies on EDX???

  • And what big clash ?
    Only one movie is big !! And that is srks movie !!
    Toilet movie will end up being in toilet after the clash !!

  • Nowadays, Want double publicity ? Clash ur movie with SRK’s Ur film will collect more thn what it would really collect Widout a clash.

  • MJD was a very risky project(Though the genre was very hot after Bahubali n Bajirao Mastani).After the realease of trailor n after movie realeased it has no chance to survive.
    SRKs next on the other hand is much more safe as star power of SRK will make sure that it gets an initial n after it is all about WOM.so at the moment it is in favour of SRk’s next

  • Keeping budget in control is key… tamasha was imiyaz ali movie. It was gud movie with limited appeal still collected gud amount.
    But unnecessary shooting in exotic locations n all made it too heavy to recover. I think in 2017 we dnt get excited wen they show us tall bulilding in newyork… instead rural dangal appeals more.

  • Gangu teli fans are even kneeling down before Raju Hirani, ready to call him Papa and praying to him to clash his film with TZH.
    Ab bhukto!
