Will Dilwale' be the biggest grosser of Shahrukh Khan's career?
In terms of star-cast, scale and appeal, Rohit Shetty's Dilwale' is the biggest release of 2015.
Cast: Apart from Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, the film also has the immensely popular Varun Dhawan, the beautiful Kriti Sanon and the talented Varun Sharma. Veteran actors like Vinod Khanna, Kabir Bedi and Johnny Lever have been cast in supporting roles. Clearly, the star cast cannot get bigger or better.
Director: Rohit Shetty is arguably the most successful director this century, most of his films have crossed the 100 crore mark and Chennai Express with Shahrukh Khan went on to be the highest grosser of all time.
Overseas factor: In the overseas markets, whenever Shahrukh and Kajol have shared screen space, the result has always been the highest grosser of all time - their films like Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, My Name Is Khan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.. have set benchmarks that other films have struggled to beat for years. A Christmas release will only help!
Genre: Finally, the genre of the Dilwale' is likely to appeal to every section of the audience. Rohit has said that the film is an "action-comedy (and romance, obviously), suited for the family audience".
While it would take something extraordinary to beat the record of PK, if there is any film this year that has the best chance of breaking the record set last year, it has to be Dilwale'
