BREAKING: Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil won't be directly clashing with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees, here's how!

Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan were headed for a BIG clash next year on Republic Day. SRK's Raees and Duggu's Kaabil were releasing on the same day. But now, there's a fresh twist in the tale.

No, it's not a clash in the truest sense anymore. Does that mean that the clash has been averted? No! Then what's the status? Here's the lowdown.

Hrithik and his dad Rakesh Roshan have now decided to release Kaabil half a day before its scheduled release. Yes, Kaabil will have pre-booked Thursday preview shows on January 25 itself. While Raees is still heading for a January 26 release, with this new plan, will Hrithik steal SRK's thunder?

The two actors being friends have worked it out well. The theatres have been distributed evenly and the territories are already chalked out, so that the clash doesn't affect both the films much. But will the films cross the 200 crore mark even if it's great? That depends!
