Three common things between Raees and Kaabil
Both need a hit, what with their 2016 releases under-performing at the boxoffice with Fan and Mohenjo Daro respectively
Is it going to be Shah Rukh Khan or Hrithik Roshan for you next week when, breaking the traditional Friday release-pattern, both the eagerly-awaited films release on Wednesday evening?
Here are three reasons why Raees and Kaabil are a battle between equals.
- Both Shah Rukh and Hrithik stand an equal chance of scoring at the boxoffice. Both need a hit, what with their 2016 releases under-performing at the boxoffice with Fan and Mohenjo Daro respectively.
- First time directors for both: Shah Rukh Khan has worked with Rahul Dholakia for the first time in Raees. Hrithik Roshan too has never worked with Sanjay Gupta before. Expect a freshness in the collaborative spirit.
- Fresh pairing: Hrithik has never worked with Yaami Gupta before, and ditto for Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan. So just savour the freshness of the pairs. But be warned: neither of the two leading ladies have much to do. This Republic Day, it’s the heroes’ show all the way.
