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."
