Shah Rukh Khan is still enjoying the success of Jawan. Infact, he has his back-to-back 500 crore films in his kitty called Pathaan and Jawan. On Friday, Hombale Films announced that their gangster action film, Salaar, will also release on December 22, 2023, clashing with Dunki.
This announcement has shocked many, as it is a bold move to clash with one of the biggest stars in the world. However, Hombale Films has expressed confidence in their product and distribution partner, Anil Thadani. According to Bollywood Hungama, Pen Marudhar has come on board as the distributor of Dunki. The source said that Pen will be releasing Dunki in most of the territories in India and will be looking to give the film a wide release across the country.
The source also said that Pen had several meetings with Shah Rukh Khan and his co-producer Gaurav Verma over the last few months to devise a model for Dunki’s release. Rajkumar Hirani and Jio have also shown complete faith in the model of SRK and team.
This is a significant development for Dunki, as Pen Marudhar is one of the leading distributors in India. The company has a proven track record of releasing successful films. It is likely that Pen will give Dunki a wide release across the country, which will help the film to reach a large audience.
It will be interesting to see how the two films perform at the box office. Dunki is expected to be a family entertainer, while Salaar is a dark and gritty crime thriller. It will be a clash of two different genres, and it will be exciting to see which film emerges victorious. So, will it surpass the collection of the previous two is an interesting thing to catch.
