Whenever my film released with another, we have done well: SRK

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said that his film Raees, directed by Rahul Dholakia, will hit screens during Eid 2016.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, SRK said that his distribution office feels that ‘Raees’ is designed for Eid, the period during which Salman Khan’s Sultan is also scheduled to release.

“There is no issue. Let them also release. It’s ­very simple: their ­distribution and production offices feel their film should release on Eid, while my distribution office feels that ours is designed for Eid. So, we both have decided, but there’s no clash the way it’s being made out to be.”

Pointing out that films starring him in the lead have won clashes more often than not, the superstar said that ‘clashes’ are normal since there are 300 films releasing every year and there are only 52 Fridays.

“Films will come and go. But ­honestly, it’s ­fortunate that whenever my film has released with another one, we have, by God’s grace, been safe every time. It doesn’t make me pompous when I say that my film has done well. There’s a simple logic — there are 300 films and 52 Fridays. There are going to be six films releasing on the same day. Sometimes, it happens to be mine. The idea is to do our best and wish the other person also the very best”

The actor also advised producers not to announce the release date of their films before it goes on floors.

“My production company will never do two things – we are not derogatory about any film, and, we don’t announce the release date of our movies as soon as they are announced. I feel it is the most stupid and redundant exercise producers follow. People say, ‘An actor has agreed to do the film, so let’s make a big announcement that it will be coming on Diwali.’ I am like, ‘First shoot the film.’ I have shot for all my three upcoming films, that’s why I am releasing them. I could have announced their release dates much earlier. Raees was planned two years back. But I don’t announce them in advance. I often tell Karan (Johar; director), ‘Why are you announcing it so much in advance? Shoot first.’ Our company has a simple funda — when we finish 50% of our shoot, only then are we somewhat assured that it will be completed.”

While Karan Johar has announced the release date of films like ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Shhuddhi’ months before the films going on floors, the makers of ‘Sultan’ too have announced their film for ‘Eid’ about 3 months before the film goes on floors.

Soon after the ‘Sultan’ announcement, Salman spoke about his ‘Jaan-e-Mann’ vs ‘Don’ clash in 2006.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but both ‘Raees’ and ‘Sultan’ are scheduled as Eid releases. It is perhaps the best thing to happen. People will try to accommodate both the films by building more theatres and lots more screens. There will be more excitement for fans. SRK and I will work much harder and pray that both films will be better. I love Shah Rukh a lot and I don’t think he needs to worry at all because the last time our movies came together he had beaten me. So, even if ‘Sultan’ and ‘Raees’ are releasing on the same day, loss mera hi hoga (it’ll be my loss)”

The clash has generated tremendous buzz because Salman has been at the peak of stardom, especially during the festive season of Eid. On the other hand, SRK, during the same period, delivered the highest box office grosser of all time when Chennai Express released back in 2013.

    Monday, 23 October.get some informations dude :)

  • I have said it before and Iam saying it again.
    There will be tough fight in multiplexes and in single screens………… everybody knows.

  • What a fake person he is. He knows that he is not even 5% close to the popularity of aamir khan and Salman khan and has no dedicated fans like aamir and Salman who watch even a crap film of him no matter who heroine or banner it has. He cant achieve the stardom which global megastar aamir khan has achieved nor he can achieve stardom like Salman in India. He will definitely get heated badly in this clash. I also want him to clash with biggest global megastar aamir khan and see how fusssss his film turns out to be at the box office. This fake small 2 RS star I’d nothing in front of biggest global megastar aamir khan and Salman khan in popularity, fan following and stardom.

  • I think Raees will get better opening than Lultan at box office. HNY COLLECTED 109 CR ON 1ST WEEKEND WITH NEGETIVE WOM WHERES BB HAS COLLECTED JUST 102 CR WITH SUPERB WOM. This is called real stardom and this is the difference between A MEGASTAR AND A LOCAL BHOJPURI STAR. ‘JANEEMAN VS DON’ INCIDENT WILL REPEAT AGAIN. AND BUDDHA SALWOMAN WILL BE RETIRE FROM THE FILM INDUSTRY. SRK SIR ALWAYS ROCKSSS……

  • @imdhakkan & @sss doesn’t matter how long ur comment is SALMAN KHAN IS D SULTAN OF BOLLYWOOD….BB made u tremble like street dog….sahi bola na ????

    thoda Chup raho yaar fir se keh k lenge.!!!!!!

  • Naya natak chaalo !!!!!!!!!! So why do you promote your movies before completion of shooting MR. SRK ?? Just because you are not getting preference over holiday releases like Salman and Aamir you are complaining about this. What about SLAM PLAM WHAMMM tours you do ??? So should Salman and Aamir complain that actors should stop doing pre-promotions before completion of shooting ?? Excuses !!!!!!!!! Like idol like fans !!!!!!!! :-p

  • If clash happens then SRK’s movie verdict will go from his very cherished ‘hit’ to ‘flop’.Even with solo release he’s hanging at ‘hit’ and he dare dream of clashing with the biggest megastar. Bring it on skeleton king.Stop your lamba vasan.Prove it at the box office not some diplomatic interviews.
    #Salmania
    #Sultan

  • @sss : How many times you shamelessly bark papa made ??? How many movies Salman did which were directed or written by his father ?? Now you will say Salman got all his movies due to his father then why Suhail & Arbaaz didn’t get so many movies n not so successful as Salman ?? Ask Abhishek & Vivek to give a solo Hit forget BBs !!!!! The real papa of Srk was Yrf & Dharma and now Rohit papa !!!!!!!!

    Baniye ki kanjoosi aur (chaddi) banyan ki Daring !!!!!!! Lol

  • Have to say the teaser promo of Shahrukh Khans Raees is miles better than Salman Khan films, will better than Sultans teaser expected more but will wait for full promo still Raees gonna win.

  • Don’t think clash will ever happen by looking at the Raees teaser i can safely say that no movie can survive against this on EID………….. Forget Sultan! YRF, salmon have watched raees teaser or not? must see it they will directly postpone it……. Sultan teaser is Bgrade, trailer will be more Bgrade, Raees will screw it badly…….

  • SRK is confident about the movie as usual he is never afraid from clashes bec he has won 100% of his clashes, all fear is for salman/yrf, they must be afraid, that’s why can’t even say properly that they want to clash and want to release it on EID like SRK said that somewhat shows YRF/Salman will postpone sultan. & salman must though he took Dilwali 2015, took 2016 dilwali too but later left Shuddhi so SRk deserves EID this time, salman should postpone it to dilwali or 2nd oct 2016 otherwise Raees ke saamne tik nahi payegi like Jeen-e-man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SRK is confident about the movie as usual he is never afraid from clashes bec he has won 100% of his clashes , all fear is for salman/yrf , they must be afraid , that’s why can’t even say properly that they want to clash and want to release it on EID like SRK said that somewhat shows YRF/Salman will postpone sultan. & salman must though he took Dilwali 2015 , took 2016 dilwali too but later left Shuddhi so SRk deserves EID this time , salman should postpone it to dilwali or 2nd oct 2016 otherwise Raees ke saamne tik nahi payegi like Jeeneman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Raees, SRK all the way . Sultan will be RIP if it clash with SRK film. Salman has past experience of that he will not clash he is not brave like SRK!

  • YRF better back down. Raees was set to release on Eid 2016 first officially ever. YRF,Salman better move it, or lose it a fact……. n Fear Of losing another Clash, Salman will BACK OUT , Sultan wouldn’t release alongside Raees on Eid… Fattu kahin ka!

  • SRK Is The King Of acting
    SRK Is The King Of Romance
    SRK Is The King of Emotions
    SRK Is The King Of Popularity
    and SRK is the King of clashes.

    Raees will win if clash happens.
    though we know Sultan will be
    postponed. Raees only .

  • @hrithik I am sure the king of all chameleons Buddha thullu carrier must be behind all these fake ids @Naresh,@king aamir khan, @james, @david and @DST.

  • This guy sss is beginning to bug me with his asinine comments. He is like a stuck record. If you go through all these comments made by SRK fans you’ll realize that they are stuck in the past and can’t seem to be able to move forward and when people live in the past they become like stagnated water. Now should this clash take place it would be interesting to find out how much manipulation and bribery SRK puts into the promotion. In this article he has already like through his teeth and since the film will be up his street as far as alcoholism and prostituting is concerned he may do a good job
    Since my encounter with him in Trinidad which his behavior stunk to the high heavens even if his movie make 100 millions crore it would not include one cent of my or my families money. Because he admits openly that money is all he cares about and he uses it illegally to achieve what he wants
    Not at all like the other stars, even if Salman movies are crap as some of these assinine SRK fans say my family and love him and them. Salman did not have to make himself a self proclaimed king HE IS THE KING.

  • srk is suffering from amnesia, asoka was released with indian during diwali period and sunny deol who was at his peak during that time destroyed asoka, even ajay devgan gave stiff competition to srk when sos was released with jthj
