Another Twist In Kaabil-Raees Clash, Hrithik Starrer Moves To Morning Slot

It is one of the most talked about and closely-watched box-office clashes, we are talking about Shah Rukh Khan's Raees and Kaabil from the Roshans' stable.

Both the films were set to release on January 25
 with Raees hitting the theatres in the morning and Kaabil opening later in the day.

But now Rakesh Roshan tells us that Kaabil too will open with the first show of the day which starts at 9 in the morning.

"My distributors have decided that we should also strike with Kaabil at 9 am," Roshan Sr. told SpotboyE.com.

This is the latest shuffle in the Kaabil-Raees box-office clash.

Both biggies were set to clash over the Republic Day weekend. It would have been a neck to neck competition for sure. There was supposed to be a difference of a few hours between the releases of the two films. While SRK’s Raees was slated to hit the theatres on January 26th morning, Hrithik’s Kaabil was lined up for release 6 pm onward on January 25th.

Then Raees director Rahul Dholakia announced that he will be releasing Raees on January 25 (Shah Rukh-Hrithik War Intensifies, SRK Fires A Salvo!, Dec 7).

Now the question was: Will Kaabil stick to its evening slot and let Raees release a few hours earlier?

And with Rakesh Roshan's latest announcement, there won’t even be a few hours separating the two biggies who will clash at the ticket windows.

Both the films are much-hyped releases with stellar star casts and the audience will sure have a tough time picking a favourite in this competition.
