Shahrukh Khan & Salman Khan

It seems it was the clash that a lot of people in Bollywood had been looking forward to, but now it wont happen. The film fraternity was abuzz with rumours that Shah Rukh Khans Billoo Barber and Salman Khans Main Aur Mrs Khanna would release together thereby clashing at the box office in the Valentines week.

But we spoke to industry bigwigs and analysts only to find out that the big clash (we would love to see though) is not happening.

Informs Amod Mehra: “Shooting of both the films are still underway and so its improbable that they will release on the same day. There is still a lot of shooting left for Main Aur Mrs Khanna. So it would release sometime much later than February. So, the clash between the two Khans is not happening.”

Another trade analyst Taran Adarsh adds: “I know about this speculation in the industry but I dont think they are releasing together as enough shooting is pending.”

Our industry insider threw some more light on the issue.

“At one point it was really looking probable that SRK and Salmans films would open in the Valentines week but now it seems Billoo Barber will release much before Main Aur Mrs Khanna as Salmans film has considerable shooting left and then post production will follow.

It would have been a great clash because most probably no one would have pushed back their release dates for sure given their current stand-off,” says the source.

While Priyadarshan directed Billoo Barber that stars Irfan Khan and Lara Dutta in the lead, will see King Khan do an extended cameo, Main Aur Mrs Khanna (reportedly the name of the film has changed to Mr and Mrs Khanna) will see Salman play the lead role. The film also has Kareena Kapoor and Sohail Khan in it.
