Is Bajrangi Bhaijaan shifting to Independence Day?

Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar set for a box office clash?

Salman Khan may not be able to keep up his usual rendezvous with fans on Eid due to a delay in Bajrangi Bhaijaan's shoot, but the latest buzz suggests that the film is now looking at a pre-Independence Day release. Given that, he will possibly clash with Akshay Kumar ('Brothers').

Says a source, "The shoot schedule of Bajrangi went for a toss due to the Kashmir floods, delaying the post-production work. The makers were planning to shift the release to September or October, but given the recent developments in Salman's life, they want to take the film to theatres as early as possible. An August 14 release works from the business point of view, as it is the beginning of a three-day weekend."

Initially, Salman's film was supposed to clash with the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Fan', but even the latter's project is likely to miss the Eid deadline as the VFX work is taking inordinately long.

A unit hand says the film's director Kabir Khan is trying to meet the I-Day release date, but nothing is confirmed yet. "The last leg of the shoot is drawing to a close and the post production work is being carried out simultaneously. Once the editing and dubbing are done, a clear picture will emerge and an official announcement be made on the release," adds the insider.

Kabir remained unavailable for comment.

Doubt that! They are almost done. Just 7 or 8 days shoot left so they should be able to release it in eid.

Instead of clashing they can simply exchange dates. I think Brothers is ready.

Shooting is done, less than a week left

Nahiiin!! BB will obviously crush Brothers if this happens😭😭😭

wait!what if they can exchange dates yet again😉..;.like if BB team can take the Independence holiday but plsss give Brothers the Eid date🤣

Kuch bhi ho! a clash would prove too fatal to Brothers..Salluuu dont kill Sid's career before it started..all the movies in his kitty minus Excel one(50%chance) and Brothers looks like potential flops anyhow😆
