To make matters more ironic, Salman Khan himself has made a special appearance in Lai Bhaari as Bhau (watch it here). The film is all the rage in Maharashtra and is still running to packed houses at some centres. So much so that co-producer Ameya Khopkar is reluctant to withdraw Lai Bhaari from some centres to make way for Kick.
"We will not withdraw from the screens where the film is doing very well. In the theatres where business is okay, we may give them a show or two," Khopkar is quoted as saying by Mumbai Mirror.
Simply put, this could mean loss of revenue for Kick in Maharashtra. It's a scenario none could have imagined: Riteish Deshmukh threatening Salman Khan at the box office.
There's also a rumour that Sajid Nadiadwala is planning to postpone Kick release by a few days. ApunKaChoice can't confirm these rumours.
As things stand now, Kick, starring Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez, will hit theatres on July 25.
