Shah Rukh Khan is poised to make another impactful return to the box office following the success of his comeback film “Pathaan” earlier this year. His upcoming film “Jawan” is set to hit theaters on September 9th, creating a buzz among fans. Coincidentally, Prabhas’s action-packed movie “Salaar,” directed by Prashanth Neel, is also slated for release in the same month.
Despite the simultaneous releases, the scheduling allows for a substantial gap between the two films, minimizing the potential for box office clashes. Nonetheless, tensions have escalated on social media, as fans of both Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas engage in discussions about opening numbers and pre-sales figures.
The competition has intensified, particularly with “Salaar” surpassing “Jawan” in USA pre-sales within just two days. While “Jawan” had its USA bookings available for a longer period, achieving pre-sales of around $160K, “Salaar” managed to generate an impressive $185K+ in pre-sales within a mere two days of its booking launch.
The remarkable trend indicates the substantial anticipation surrounding “Salaar,” with nearly a month left before its official release. This pre-sales record has only added fuel to the fire of the ongoing rivalry between Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas fans regarding box office predictions.
