Film trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan confirmed the exciting news on Twitter, creating a buzz among fans of both superstars.

Prabhas’ action-packed thriller, ‘Salaar,’ initially scheduled for release on September 28, 2023, had faced delays due to technical issues.

On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan, known as the “King of Bollywood,” is gearing up for the release of ‘Dunki,’ an eagerly awaited project. While the release date for ‘Dunki’ on Christmas is fixed, the official announcement is yet to be made. The clash between these two mega-movies has created a significant buzz in the entertainment industry.

During an ‘Ask SRK’ session on social media, a fan asked Shah Rukh Khan if ‘Dunki’ would still release on Christmas despite the clash with ‘Salaar.’ To this, the charismatic actor humorously replied, “Dunki fixed hi hai. Aur kya karoon maathe pe gudwa loon” (Dunki is fixed. Should I get it tattooed on my head now?).

This showdown between two cinematic giants, Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, promises to be a treat for moviegoers, who are eagerly awaiting the release of these mega-blockbusters. ‘Salaar’ not only features Prabhas but also boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu.
