Sanjay Leela Bhansali and SRK ready to clash at the box office on Christmas
SRK's untitled upcoming film directed by Rohit Shetty will clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani.
Repeating history once again, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and actor Shah Rukh Khan are ready to clash at the box office with their Christmas releases. In 2007, SRK's Om Shanti Om clashed with Bhansali's Saawariya and both of them had then shared some bitter vibes.
SRK's film with Rohit Shetty, which is yet to be titled, also features Varun Dhawan and Kirti Sanon and is slated to release on December 23. Bhansali is releasing his ambitious Bajirao Mastani that stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra on December 25.
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer Tamasha directed by Imtiaz Ali was supposed to be in the race too, but looks like they have stepped back and postponed the movie's release to March 2016. They are clearly afraid of the competition!
According to sources, Sajid Nadiadwala did not want to pitch his film against a movie that stars SRK and is directed by Rohit Shetty, hence decided to postpone the release date.
