Karan Johar extends a helping hand to SRK. Hrithik in TROUBLE?

Shah Rukh Kahn's has been delayed already for a long time. It had delayed its release in July so as to avoid a clash with Superstar Salman Khan's Sultan.

Later when SRK announced that he would release his film in January next year, Hrithik Roshan soon announced his next, Kaabil, to come out on the same day. King Khan has been trying to make the Roshans push their release date, but with no luck as yet.

So as to not let Raees face the banter at the box-office SRK's good friend KJo has stepped in to give him the best deal for his film with respect to distribution. A source informs the leading daily, "Karan's production company had not just presented Baahubali, but even bought the Hindi rights for the film. When SRK, Riteish and Farhan locked Anil Thadani as the distributor for Raees, Karan told Shah Rukh how to get the best deal from single-screen owners. Anil owns the distribution rights of Baahubali 2 and Mirzya so he made the single-theatre owners sign a three-film deal that he would give them these films only if they gave him maximum screens for Raees too. Now, for exhibitors, Baahubali 2 is one of the hottest releases of 2017 so they had no choice but to agree."

But if this happens, Kaabil is going to have a lot of problem as it will be sharing the same release same release date as Raees. The source also said, "The film will suffer badly if it doesn't have any single-screen theatres in Mumbai. Ironically, in Hrithik's Mohenjo Daro vs Akshay Kumar's Rustom clash, Roshan Jr had the upper hand as UTV had ensured maximum single-screen theatres during that time."

Irrespective of this, Mohenjo Daro still failed to make its money as compared to Rustom.
