It was back in September 2023 when famous film critic, Taran Adarsh confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas are all set to lock horns at the box office with their films, Dunki and Salaar. However, on October 11, 2023, a tweet from famous film industry tracker, Manobala Vijayabalam revealed that there are still chances that the clash wouldn’t happen.

As per Manobala Vijayabalam, there is a buzz that Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are planning to postpone the release of their film, Dunki. As a result, Prabhas will probably be all set for a solo release at the box office around Christmas that would indeed increase its chances of being a blockbuster. However, as of now, there’s no official confirmation, but Prabhas’ massive fanbase has taken over the internet and is joyous about the early reports. On the flip side, Shah Rukh Khan’s fans are quite convinced that this is just a buzz and their superstar would release Dunki around Christmas.

Not everyone is aware of the fact that the clash is reportedly between the production company behind Salaar: Part 1- Ceasefire, Hombale Films and Shah Rukh Khan. For the unversed, back in 2018, Shah Rukh’s Zero was released against Hombale Films’ K.G.F: Chapter 1, and the former has beaten the South blockbuster in the international market. While K.G.F: Chapter 1 managed to win the domestic battle, it was Shah Rukh’s fandom overseas that helped him give tough competition to Yash’s film despite being a flop in terms of storyline.

However, Rajkumar Hirani is one of the most respected and successful directors in Bollywood. The filmmaker is renowned for giving story-based films to Indian cinema, which is one of the major reasons why Dunki can be Shah Rukh’s third blockbuster in a single year.
