The very big news about Prabhas’s Salaar clashing with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki has taken the entertainment world by storm. Salaar, which is produced by Hombale Films, was earlier supposed to release on September 28. However, the makers decided to postpone the release and it wasn’t known whether the Prabhas starrer would release this year. But the decision of releasing Salaar along with a biggie like Dunki has come as a jolt.
Interestingly, this will be the second time that a film under the banner of Hombale Films will be clashing with a film not only starring Shah Rukh but also produced by his production house Red Chillies Entertainment. The last time it happened was on December 21, 2018 when Zero had clashed with Hombale Films’ KGF: Chapter 1, which starred Yash in the lead.
The result of the 2018 clash between both the banners was easily won by Hombale Films. KFG: Chapter 1 turned out to be a success while Zero became a box office debacle. It was after this film that SRK decided to take a take a break from films.
But the situation is way different now. During December 2018, SRK was going through a bad patch. However, right now he is in red hot form as his two films of 2023 – Pathaan and Jawan have turned out to become historic blockbusters. Prabhas, on the other hand, has had a series of non-starrers like Saaho, Radhe Shyam and Adipurush.
