Recently we saw some big movies with with stars clashing against each other and we can say that it is not a wise decision. On Republic Day 2017 we saw a clash of the titans at the box-office with Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil both releasing on the same day.
Now, there’s another set of big Bollywood films heading for a mighty clash on the Independence Day weekend. According to an update shared by film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha will collide with Imtiaz Ali’s Shah Rukh Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer at the box-office. The two films will hit cinemas on August 11.
Earlier, Akshay Kumar’s Crack was scheduled for an Independence Day release and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was to hit the screens on June 2. Due to production delays, Crack will not be releasing this year, and Shah Rukh’s film could have availed a solo release. The change in the release date of Akshay’s film has now slotted the two superstars against each other at the box-office.
Incidentally, last year’s Independence Day weekend had also seen a big clash, between Akshay’s Rustom and Hrithik’s Mohenjo Daro.
