It will be a clash of titans as ‘Salaar’ and ‘Dunki’ will be released on the same day, December 22, 2023. Previously, it was assumed that the makers of Prabhas delayed the release of ‘Salaar’ in order to avoid being affected at the box office ahead of the release of Jawan, starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan, but trade expert Ramesh Bala spoke exclusively to BL and stated that they genuinely had to delay the release and it had nothing to do with Jawan. And now that ‘Salaar’ would clash with ‘Dunki’, and considering Shah Rukh Khan's history this year with ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’, the makers have devised a master plan to overrule the superstar's release.
According to speculations on various south entertainment blogs, the creators of ‘Salaar’ intend to advertise the film across the country and release two trailers, one on Prabhas' birthday on October 23 and one ahead of the film's premiere. Prashanth Neel, famed for enormous hits like ‘KGF’ and ‘KGF 2’, has reportedly put a halt to all of his upcoming releases in order to focus on promoting ‘Salaar’ alongside Prabhas across the country, with a large budget earmarked for the same.

While there are several reports that superstar Shah Rukh Khan is planning to release ‘Dunki’ a day earlier on the international market to create huge curiosity, the actor has stated that ‘Dunki’ will be nothing like Jawan because Rajkumar Hirani has removed any action scenes he has in the film.
