Cut to a few months back. Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani announced that their next production venture Raees featuring Shah Rukh Khan will be releasing on Eid 2016. Soon enough, YRF too revealed that Salman Khan starrer Sultan will also hit screens on the same day. We were just reeling under the shock of having the biggest Bollywood clash happening in a few months' time that we heard about a new development.
People, now you can breathe easy! Salman and SRK are not clashing anymore. The latest we hear is that Salman has asked the Sultan makers to move their release to a later date. And now, Shah Rukh is all set to enjoy a solo release in June next year with Raees definitely coming on the said date.
Raees, more in the commercial yet unconventional space had released a teaser video which has created tremendous buzz among the audiences. Sultan's first look picture also created waves in tinsel town. But now that Sultan has been pushed to a later date, SRK fans will be really happy.
Also, will Sultan now release on Diwali? That's something again which is doing the rounds now. But if it does book Diwali for its release, Sultan will yet again go head to head with Ranbir Kapoor's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Ajay Devgn's Shivaay!
