SRK-Akshay movies to clash during independence day weekend in 2017

Imtiaz Ali’s film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma, which is tentatively titled The Ring will hit the screen on 11th August 2017. After partying with Shah Rukh, Salman announced release date with a poster of Shah Rukh’s film on Twitter and posted, “@iamsrk ki film aa Rahi hai. Date Maine decides kar di hai. Title tum log decide kardo. Best of luck @AnushkaSharma

Alia too joined the promotion of the film and Shah Rukh, Ansuhka and Karan joined the conversation on Twitter to choose the title. However, earlier this year post the success of Rustom, Akshay and Neeraj Pandey had announced their next film Crack and declared that they intend to release it on the Independence Day weekend.

A source says, “Neeraj and Akshay have delivered three back to back hits, Special 26, Baby and Rustom. In the past few years Akshay has had a few releases on Independence Day. This time around since they had already announced the release date before Imtiaz, it seems that the box office clash looks unavoidable.”
Khans would traditionally take Diwali and Eid for their film releases. Last year Akshay’s Rustom was released with Hrithik Roshan’s Mohenjo Daro, while Hrithik’s film did average business, Akshay’s film collected good money in India as well as at overseas.
