Shah Rukh Khan has been trying his level best to waive off any clash with his upcoming film, Raees. He had slated the release of his film, for the auspicious day of Eid this year. But considering that Salman Khan's Sultan was also set to release on the same date, so Shahrukh smartly pushed his date ahead to January 2017.

As soon as that happened, Hrithik Roshan announced his next Kaabil with director Sanjay Gupta, releasing on the same day. SRK had had a late night meeting with the producer of Kaabil, Rakesh Roshan, to request him to push the release date for his film, so as to avoid a clash with Raees.

But during the promotional tour for Mohenjo Daro, Hrithik Roshan had been adamant that he won't shift the release date of Kaabil, stating that both films should do well and there is nothing as a clash. Now that Mohenjo Daro bombed at the box-office, Hrithik seems to be re-considering his words.

Buzz is that Raes and Kaabil won't clash at the box-office. Apparently Hrithik wants to rethink about his decision. News is also that the shoot of the film has also slowed down. Ritesh Sidhwani and Shah Rukh Khan are due for another meeting with the Roshans, post King Khan's return from Prague, where he is currently shooting for Imitiaz Ali's 'The Rings'.
