Monday, 22nd June 2015, 4:39 PM IST Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘Dilwale’ were all set to clash at the box-office on 18th Dec 2015. However, apparently the former has been postponed to avoid the clash with the Rohit Shetty directorial. A source said, "'Dilwale' will see Shahrukh Khan and Kajol share screen space after a gap of five years — their last release together was 'My Name Is Khan' (2010) — and there will obviously be hype around it. Bhansali doesn't want to take chances with 'Bajirao Mastani' and is therefore planning to push the release of the film ahead.” "Yes, the release of 'Bajirao Mastani' is being pushed ahead. The film is Bhansali's dream project and the director is aiming for a solo release in 2016," added the source. An industry insider said, "In 2007, when Bhansali's film, 'Saawariya' released alongside SRK's, 'Om Shanti Om', the former bombed at the box-office. Also, whenever a film is released against a Shahrukh Khan starrer, it fails to set the cash registers ringing. So, Bhansali might change the release of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ so that history is not repeated." Remember a few days ago, we had exclusively predicted that ‘Bajirao Mastani’ won’t clash with ‘Dilwale’. And it seems like we eventually will be proved right.
