Prabhas’ Salaar To Release on December 22; to clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki

Prabhas' much-awaited film 'Salaar' is all set to be released on Christmas, clashing with Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dunki'. The film, earlier scheduled for September 28, was postponed due to technical issues.

The release date for Prabhas' highly anticipated film 'Salaar' has been rescheduled due to technical issues. The film, initially set to release on September 28, is now reportedly planned for a Christmas release. This puts it in direct competition with Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dunki', which has already secured the Christmas slot.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has confirmed the news on Instagram, stating that 'Salaar' is expected to arrive on December 22, 2023, the same day as 'Dunki'. This is not the first time such a clash has occurred - in 2018, Khan's 'Zero' and 'KGF' from Hombale Films battled for the Christmas audience.

Prabhas’ 'Salaar' is helmed by Prashanth Neel and also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Meenakshi Chaudhary along with others in key roles. The makers are yet to make an official announcement about the new release date of the film and fans can't wait for the much-anticipated movie.

Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dunki' will be the actor's first-ever collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani and features Taapsee Pannu in a pivotal role. While there were previous reports indicating a delay in 'Dunki's release, the actor officially confirmed during the success meet of 'Jawan' that the film is set to hit theaters on Christmas.
