Salaar vs Dunki: Possible 'Ugly Fights' Between Prabhas And Shah Rukh Khan's Fans During Screening Worry Producer

Salaar vs Dunki: 'Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire' is all set to hit the theatres on December 22, 2023. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the movie stars Prabhas, Shruthi Haasan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles. For the unversed, Salaar is all set to face a mega clash at the global box office with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki. While Prabhas-starrer will release in theatres on December 22, Dunki will have its theatrical release on December 21, 2023.

Amid anticipation surrounding the two movies, fans have been vouching over their favourite one since day 1. However, Salaar producer Vijay Kirgandur of Hombale Films has now opened up about the possible “ugly fights” between the Prabhas starrer and 'Dunki' over screens.

In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama.com, Vijay Kirgandur said, “We don’t want things to be ugly. We are already having meetings with the exhibitors and distributors. When we have a solo release, the occupancy generally will be around 60-70 percent. Some screens will go to Aquaman but between Salaar and Dunki, we hope to get 50-50 screens in the best scenario. In such a scenario, if an occupancy of 90-100 percent is achieved, it’ll be a good result for both films.”

“Even if we get more screens, the occupancy will anyway go down to 60 percent or 70 percent. What we are planning is that we should get more occupancy, even if we get fewer screens than what we would have got if Salaar was a solo release. Even Overseas, these discussions are going on. Programming is the key now and that’s what we are focusing on, without getting into ugly fights,” he further added.
