This year, on multiple occasions, across Hollywood, Bollywood, and Tollywood, films showed that it is possible to co-exist and thrive despite 'clashing' upon release.
In a monumental clash, Prabhas Salaar: Part-1 Ceasefire and Shah Rukh Khan s Dunki went head-to-head at the box office. Directed by Prashanth Neel, Salaar targeted a potential record-breaking Rs 95 crore opening day. Dunki , Khan s third film of the year, started with Rs 30 crore but fell short of his earlier releases. Salaar surged with Rs 48.94 crore in advance bookings, overshadowing major upcoming releases. The clash signifies not just a battle between Prabhas and Khan but also features an ensemble cast including Prithviraj Sukumaran, with both actors optimistic about their films success.
