If Not Raees, Sultan Will Clash With Aye Dil Hai Mushkil, Shivaay?

Salman Khan starrer Sultan’s clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s Raaes might seem to have averted as the reports claim that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan is in talks with the makers of the film to postpone its release. If the Dabangg actor’s film isn’t releasing on Eid, it might release on Diwali, claims reports. If this goes true, Sultan might clash with Aye Dil Hai Mushkil and Shivaay, which are reportedly planned to release on Diwali next year.

A source close to Mid-day revealed, “Ajay and Karan have announced Diwali next year for the release of their respective films, which are yet to go on floors. But if Salman also picks the same date, it will be a problem for them. There is a possibility that at least one of them will change their date to avoid eating into each other’s business”.

After hearing the news, film critic Taran Adarsh said, “As far as 'Sultan' is concerned, there is no official statement from the makers about the release being pushed to Diwali. So, there is no point speculating. But even if two big films clash at the box-office, it is an unhealthy competition, although it is not impossible for them to co-exist. It will only end up dividing business, screens, shows and overall footfalls”.
