SRK Explains About The Clash Between SULTAN And RAEES
| |||
Tuesday, 1st Sept 2015, 5:34 PM IST Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan have always been vocal about the box-office clash between their films ‘Raees’ and ‘Sultan’. Both the films are slated to release on Eid 2016. And recently, SRK explained in detail about the clash. The superstar said, "There is no issue... Let them also release. It’s very simple: their distribution and production offices feel their film should release on Eid, while my distribution office feels that ours is designed for Eid. So, we both have decided [on the same date], but there’s no clash the way it’s being made out to be." "Films will come and go. But honestly, it’s fortunate that whenever my film has released with another one, we have, by God’s grace, been safe every time. It doesn’t make me pompous when I say that my film has done well. There’s a simple logic — there are 300 films and 52 Fridays (in a year). There are going to be [almost] six films releasing on the same day. Sometimes, it happens to be mine. The idea is to do our best and wish the other person also the very best,” he added. SRK further explained, "My production company will never do two things — we are not derogatory about any film (sic), and, we don’t announce the release date of our movies as soon as they are announced. I feel it is the most stupid and redundant exercise producers follow. People say, 'An actor has agreed to do the film, so let’s make a big announcement that it will be coming on Diwali.' I am like, 'First shoot the film.' I have shot for all my three upcoming films, that’s why I am releasing them. I could have announced their release dates much earlier. ‘Raees’ was planned two years back. But I don’t announce them in advance. I often tell Karan (Johar; director), 'Why are you announcing it so much in advance? Shoot first.' Our company has a simple funda — when we finish 50% of our shoot, only then are we somewhat assured that it will be completed [by a certain date]."
