Hrithik gives up release date for SRK
on Dec 4, 2016
Hrithik Roshan's upcoming flick Kaabil might not be clashing with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees after all. Atleast on the same day. Rakesh Roshan's production starring Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam will release as planned. Only, instead of Thursday, January 26, 2017, it will open in cinemas an evening before, on Wednesday, January 25. Film critic Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to share the news. To avoid the clash at the box office with a Shahrukh Khan film; which is generally a box office success, Rakesh Roshan has gone out of his way to ensure that Kaabil gets a fair chance at the box office according to reports. Incidentally, Roshan Sr wanted to release his previous outing as director, 'Krrish 3' (Diwali 2013) on November 3. But since that day happened to be Lakshmi Puja, he eventually released the superhero flick on Friday, November 1, which also marked Dhanteras, the first day of the festival.
