The Sallu-SRK showdown at Katrina Kaif's birthday is ancient history. Now the mega stars have two films coming on the same dates.
The industry is gearing up for another clash at the marquee. Sources swear that it is Salman who is hell-bent on having all his forthcoming releases to go head-on with Shah Rukh and wants to beat him at the box-office!
Inspired by Aamir?
A source in the industry reveals, "Salman was really happy to see how Aamir took on Shah Rukh when Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Ghajini released a few weeks apart and Aamir emerged the winner.
Now Sallu feels he can take on Shah Rukh and beat him at the numbers game when their movies release on the same weekend. Sallu's Wanted and SRK's Dulha Mil Gaya will release July 3."
Race goes on
The source further adds, "That's not all. Salman also wants to wrap up his next biggie, Veer and make it release along with Shah Rukh and Karan Johar's My Name is Khan.
Before this, the release date of the film was unconfirmed but the two are looking at a year-end release.
While Veer has been shooting around the clock in Rajasthan, My Name is Khan has another shooting stint in San Francisco in the next few weeks. In fact, Sallu jokingly refers to Karan's film as My Name Is Mrs Khan."
Date not locked
Mudassar Aziz, the director of Dulha Mil Gaya says, "We haven't locked on a date as yet for the film but I am sure we are coming out in July.
July 3 seems like a good date. But then, cautiously adds, "I'm aware that Wanted is coming out on the same date but both the films are getting post-production work done, if any slip-ups either one of us could see the date changing.
I respect Salmanbhai's work a lot and take his releases seriously."
Can't dictate terms
Boney Kapoor, the producer of Wanted says, "This is news to me that even Dulha Mil Gaya is releasing on July 3. I am releasing Wanted on the same day.
If it's destiny, we can't fight it. Everyone has their own space and I can't dictate terms for other films. If they are also releasing the same day, they are welcome to."
