Mumbai is buzzing with speculation as the highly anticipated release of Shah Rukh Khan’s film, ‘Dunki,’ faces a possible delay. The reason behind this reconsideration is the upcoming December release of Telugu superstar Prabhas’ ‘Salaar.’ Originally scheduled for a Christmas release this year, ‘Dunki’ is now under review to avoid a potential clash with ‘Salaar.’
Shah Rukh Khan’s recent success with ‘Jawan,’ which earned a whopping 1177 crores worldwide and continues to generate daily revenues of around 1 crore, has set high expectations. ‘Jawan’ surpassed the performance of his previous hit, ‘Pathan,’ which itself was a record-breaking success with earnings exceeding 80 crores.

Given the impressive track record of Shah Rukh Khan’s recent ventures, the decision to delay ‘Dunki’ could be viewed as a strategic move. By doing so, it aims to prevent a box office showdown with Prabhas’ ‘Salaar’ and provide both films with ample breathing space to thrive.
