Ranveer Singh's Simmba Will Not Clash With SRK's Zero; Rohit Shetty Reveals The Reason!

Come December and we will get to see two of the biggest releases of 2018- Shahrukh Khan's Zero and Ranveer Singh's Simmba hitting the big screens. Earlier, both the films were slated to hit the theatrical screens on the same day. However now, Rohit Shetty has clarified that both the films won't be reeasing on the same day.

The filmmaker revealed that both the teams have mutually decided to avert the clash. While Shahrukh Khan starrer Zero will release on 21st December, Simmba is now arriving in theatres on December 28.

Rohit said, "One week is enough, where is the competition. We were coming on the same date earlier but then me, Karan Johar and Shah Rukh sat and discussed that if we come on the same day then business will be get affected.

"There was no competition as such. It was like a mutual thing. If the film is good it will run," Rohit told reporters at the Jagran Film Festival in Mumbai.

Shahrukh Khan will be seen playing a dwarf in Aanand L. Rai's Zero. The film has Anushka Sharm and Katrina Kaif playing his leading ladies. On the other hand, Ranveer Singh's Simmba has him essaying a cop and is a remake of Junior NTR's Temper. The film marks the Bollywood debut of Sara Ali Khan.

"It is a remake and remakes are being made since years. And there's no harm in making remakes as maybe the younger generation has not caught up with those old films. 'Simmba' has a message in it. And I think it is my best written film till date," Rohit further told the reports.
