Although, the two Films have been rumored to clash at the Box Office on 18th December, none of the two had officially announced the release date until today.
Both Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Dilwale’ produced by the actor himself on Red Chillies Entertainment and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajarao Mastani’ have today announced the release dates by releasing posters of the respective films.
Both the posters highlighted the 18th December release date. The clash between the two high profile films is expected to cost in excess of Rs 100 Crore for each film.
The trade tried their level Best to avert this clash but couldn’t. As the makers of both films wanted to cash in on the Christmas WEEKEND, this biggest clash of the year has become compulsory.
Will both films work at the box office? Can a film like Bajirao Mastani made on large canvas with relatively smaller actors take on mighty Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Dilwale’?
Sanjay Leela Bhansali faced embarrassing defeat in 2007 when his Saawariya clashed with SRK’s ‘Om Shanti Om’.
