Why Raees Being Pushed To January 2017 Was Good For SRK

I still remember when the Bollywood industry went crazy over news of Salman Khan’s 'Sultan' and Shah Rukh Khan’s 'Raees' to clash on the very same day. Anushka Sharma and Salman Khan did not leave any stone unturned as they were going to clash with the Badshah of Bollywood. However, a month before the supposed clash, Shah Rukh Khan, and Excel Entertainment announced to the world that Raees is now scheduled to release in January 2017. Although this might have upset many SRK Fans, but it is good for the Raees team.

1. It was able to avoid Sultan

Sultan has proven itself as the giant blockbuster of 2016. This movie has proved to be a golden movie for the Dabang actor and if Raees had released on the same day, it might have proved to be less than Haryana Ki Shaan, Sultan.

2. People can move on from Fan

'Fan' was one of the most disasterous movies that SRK has done in his career. It proved to be torture for the viewers and many SRK fans lost trust in him. In fact, there were news that leading directors and producers don’t find it safe to hire SRK after watching the movie 'Fan'. It didn’t even touch Rs 100 crores at the domestic box office, something which his far inferior 'Happy New Year' had managed.

3. Alia Bhatt and SRK are coming together this November

Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan are coming together in 'Dear Zindagi' this November. Shah Rukh Khan will be seen playing the role of Alia Bhatt's coach in 'Dear Zindagi'. The complete story of the movie is based majorly on Alia and Shah Rukh Khan’s star power.

4. Avoid Shivaay and Dangal

Shivaay’s trailer has become one of the most watched trailers in Bollywood and it would prove good for the Raees team that they avoid a clash with Ajay Devgan’s 'Shivaay'. The movie would release on Diwali and Aamir Khan's upcoming movie, Dangal in Christmas and we know, SRK will not get into this.

5. Clash with Kaabil

According to the recent reports, SRK’s Raees would be clashing with Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil and we believe Shah Rukh Khan would be able to manage the star power, all thanks to the failure of Mohenjo Daro. Hrithik Roshan’s box office power will all depend on the performance of Mohenjo Daro and we know what happened there.
