“I’d Never Do The Same,” Rakesh Roshan Lashes Out At SRK For Clashing ‘Raees’ With ‘Kaabil’

By now, you might’ve heard that ‘Raees‘ and ‘Kaabil‘ are clashing again on January 25, 2017. While fans are loving the feel of a clash and are waiting to see who emerges as the box-office winner, Rakesh Roshan seems rather not too happy about the same.

Rakesh Roshan had announced a few days ago about the change in Kaabil‘s release date. It was supposed to release on January 26, 2017 with Raees. But he pre-poned the film by an evening, for paid previews and somehow the talked-about clash was averted.

But the trailer of Raees came with the release date of January 25. And, it will be available in screens from Wednesday morning, unlike Kaabil‘s evening start.

Roshan Sr broke his silence on the entire matter and told DNA, that he didn’t know that Team Raees also planned to change the date. Not just that, he seemed pretty miffed by the filmmakers. He said,

Whatever dates we are taking, they are following us. I would have never done the same. I belong to an old school of filmmaking and I have given 50 years of my life to the industry. I would never release my film on a day when another filmmaker has already announced their film.”

Not only Kaabil, Papa Roshan also tried averting Krissh 4‘s clash with an SRK film in Christmas 2018.

“I decided to remove Krrish 4 also from Christmas 2018 because I saw SRK’s film is coming that day. I could have easily released my film with Befikre or even with Dangal if I had to clash. But when I announced the film in February, I saw a clean window in January and hence I picked the date. I can’t get into this new groove of things because I don’t understand it.”

Well, well! We think now the clash is not only limited to movies but a lot more. What’s Hrithik Roshan’s take on this? We wonder!
