After Rakesh Roshan made an announcement a few days back of releasing Kaabil on January 25, the makers of Raees seem to have followed his footsteps.
Both biggies-Kaabil and Raees were set to clash on the Republic Day. It would have been a neck to neck competition for sure. While Shah Rukh’s Raees has already been delayed much, it was impossible to move its release date further. But here’s a twist in the story! (Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil Will NOT Clash With Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees!, Dec 2).
There was supposed to be a difference of few hours between the releases of the two films. While SRK’s Raees was slated to hit the theatres on Jan 26th morning Hrithik’s Kaabil was lined up for release 6 pm onward onon the same day but hey, not anymore.
Rahul Dholakia just took to Twitter to announce that he will be releasing Raees on January 25.
When SpotboyE.com contacted Rakesh Roshan to confirm the news, he had said, “This was a planned strategy from the beginning itself. It will release on Wednesday – 6 pm show onwards as 26th is a holiday.” When asked whether this was to get an upper hand, he laughed and said, “No, no nothing like that. I have no upper hand here.” We shall get you his reaction soon.
It doesn't get more competitive than this, does it?
