The War Begins! Rakesh Roshan Slams Shahrukh Khan For Deciding To Release Raees On January 25

The war between Raees and Kaabil has begun as Rakesh Roshan has slammed Shahrukh Khan for deciding to release Raees on January 25th and not on January 26th as agreed before.

We all know that the year 2017 will start with the 'clash of the titans' between Shahrukh Khan's Raees and Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil. Both the teams were cordial with their talks and statements and now it looks like things might take a 'U turn' all thanks to Shahrukh Khan for cleverly changing the release date of Raees from January 26 to January 25 (as per the trailer). The date which both the film-makers had decided on was Republic Day and now Rakesh Roshan has slammed SRK for changing the release date to Jan 25th morning show.

A source close to the development was quoted as saying, "SRK's Raees will have a worldwide release on January 25 and it's mentioned in the theatrical trailer that will be launched today. It's releasing straight from morning shows on Wednesday and not evening shows as Kaabil."

Rakesh Roshan broke his silence on the matter and told Bollywoodlife, "I didn't know about their date. My distributors said we should come out on January 25 from the evening shows. I didn't know the Raees team also planned to change their date."

He further commented, "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. 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."
