Call it fate or just a coincidence, but one of the most loved couple of the past, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who have never faced each other post their breakup, are all set to clash with each other at the box office. Salman like every year, had pre-booked Eid 2018 for his next film, Race 3. But now Aishwarya’s film Fanney Khan co-starring Irrfan Khan and Rajkummar Rao too has been finalised and is all set to hit the theaters the same festive day.
Confirm the film’s producers through this official statement as stated by Mid Day, “We have locked the release date of Fanney Khan on Eid 2018 (June 15). We decided on Eid because the lead character Fanney Khan, played by Anil Kapoor, is a Muslim character and there’s no better day than Eid to release it.
A trade source in interaction with Mid Day further analyses the box office prospective of both the films saying, “It will be an exciting clash, since Aishwarya and Salman’s relationship continues to hold the audience’s attention, even years after it went kaput. While Salman boasts of tremendous box-office pull, Ash and Anil too have a huge fan following and will draw the audience to the theatres. Arjun N Kapoor, Prernaa Arora, Bhushan Kumar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra met Aishwarya and Anil, who were happy to have a festival release. The team is aware of Race 3 also releasing on Eid, but they are confident of their film.”
Well, you need guts to clash with Salman Khan at the box office.
