It is one of the most
talked about and closely-watched box-office clashes, we are talking about Shah
Rukh Khan's Raees and Kaabil from the Roshans' stable.
Both the films were set to release on January 25 with Raees hitting the theatres in the
morning and Kaabil opening later in the day.

But now Rakesh
Roshan tells us that Kaabil too will open with the first show of the day which
starts at 9 in the morning.
"My distributors have decided that we should also strike with Kaabil
at 9 am," Roshan Sr.
told SpotboyE.com.
This is the latest shuffle in the Kaabil-Raees box-office clash.
Both biggies were set to clash over the Republic Day weekend. It would have
been a neck to neck competition for sure. There was supposed to be a difference
of a few hours between the releases of the two films. While SRK’s Raees was
slated to hit the theatres on January 26th morning, Hrithik’s Kaabil was lined up for
release 6 pm onward
on January 25th.

Then Raees director Rahul Dholakia announced that he will be releasing Raees
on January 25 (Shah Rukh-Hrithik War Intensifies, SRK Fires A Salvo!, Dec 7).
Now the question was: Will Kaabil stick to its evening slot and let Raees
release a few hours earlier?

And with Rakesh Roshan's latest announcement, there won’t even be a few hours
separating the two biggies who will clash at the ticket windows.
Both the films are much-hyped releases with stellar star casts and the audience
will sure have a tough time picking a favourite in this competition.
