Rohit Shetty’s yet untitled film featuring Khan, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon is all set for a December 23 clash with Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani.
The last time SLB and SRK had clashed at the box office was in Diwali 2007 when Saawariya released alongside Om Shanti Om.
It looks like the impending clash between Bajirao Mastani and Khan's next may affect the recently renewed SRK-SLB dosti.
"The two had lately rediscovered their equation from the Devdas days. Shah Rukh was at Sanjay’s Padma Shri party. Sanjay had no idea of Shah Rukh’s plans to release his film on the same Friday as Bajirao Mastani," says a source.
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala, meanwhile, has decided to pull out his prestigious Tamasha from the Christmas slot. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, will now release in March 2016.
Says a source close to Nadiadwala: “There is no sense in this kind of clash. One of the films is bound to suffer."
