Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil and Shahrukh Khan's Raees were pitted against each other ever since their release dates were first announced.
Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam statter Kaabil and Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan starrer Raees is set to clash at the box office on January 25, 2017. The big films are two of the most awaited releases of the year. While it will see both the lead stars in different avatars and both the films can boast of hot item numbers by Sunny Leone and Urvashi Rautela, fans are still eagerly looking to see which film beats the other.
The clash intensified when following Kaabil’s shift in release date, the makers of Raees also followed suit and shifted the date from January 26th2017 to January 25th 2017.
Post this development, Kaabil producer Rakesh Roshan expressed his anger and disappointment with the Raees producers and Shah Rukh Khan for being so unprofessional. However, Raees camp maintained that they had already taken this decision to pre-pone the film much before Kaabil made the announcement. It was only a case of who announced it first. Kaabil vs Raees have been compared to each other on every front since then. Kaabil got a boost when Aamir Khan silently extended his support to the film by attaching it’s trailer to his film Dangal which released today
Raees stars Shah Rukh in the role of a bootlegger. The film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pakistani actor Mahira Khan, who is making her Bollywood debut. It has been directed by Rahul Dholakia.
Hrithik has definitely taken the more mature route, compared to dad Rakesh Roshan. When the Raees trailer first came out and announced its release date, Rakesh had gone on a tirade, saying, “Whatever dates we are taking, they are following us. I would have never done the same. I belong to an old school of filmmaking and I have given 50 years of my life to the industry. I would never release my film on a day when another filmmaker has already announced their film. I decided to remove Krrish 4 also from Christmas 2018 because I saw SRK’s film is coming that day. I could have easily released my film with Befikre or even with Dangal if I had to clash. But when I announced the film in February, I saw a clean window in January and hence I picked the date. I can’t get into this new groove of things because I don’t understand it.”
Kaabil on the other hand, has been helmed by Sanjay Gupta and the thriller also stars Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy and Rohit Roy. The film will see Hrithik playing a blind man.
Shah Rukh Khan's Raees and Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil are heading for a huge clash at the box office next January. While the two films will battle it out at the ticket windows, competition has just begun.
The Kaabil team unveiled their item number - a reprise version of Saara Zamana from Yaarana - that features Urvashi Rautela.

On the other hand, the Raees team launched their first song - a reprise version of Qurbaani's Laila O Laila - that features Sunny Leone.
