Box-office clashes may be an exciting affair for the fans but for trade circles, it can turn out to be a big headache. This situation becomes even more problematic when the clash is between two A-listers and the biggest stars of their industries. Something similar happened last year in December when Prashant Neel’s Salaar clashed with Raj Kumar Hirani’s Dunki.
While Salaar featured Prabhas, Dunki had Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan and the clashe between the two stars made it a mouth-watering box-office clash. In a recent interview, Prashant Neel has come forward and expressed regret over the clash. Many believed this could have been avoided and helped both movies achieve better box-office numbers.
Prashant Neel in the interaction said that,”They (Shahrukh Khan and Raj Kumar Hirani) are colossal and they had announced Dunki release date more than a year in advance. My apologies to the entire Dunki team for the clash but we had to go with the same release date due to astrological reasons which Vijay sir (producer) believed in.”
While it is almost close to a year since this clash, Prashant Neel speaking about it now makes one thing clear- No one enjoys clashing at the box-office as clashes could often translate into lower returns and the films not reaching their true box-office potential.
