the year has finally been averted for the
good. No points for guessing, we are talking
about Shah Shah Rukh Khan's next with
Imtiaz Ali titled Jab Harry Met Sejal' and
Akshay Kumar's Toilet Ek Prem Katha. While
both the films had locked their release date
as August 11, 2017. SRK's film has now
preponed its release to August 4. Yes, trade
analyst Taran Adarsh just tweeted
confirming the news, "Yes, SRK
[#JabHarryMetSejal] versus Akshay
[#ToiletEkPremKatha] clash averted...
#JabHarryMetSejal on 4 Aug,
#ToiletEkPremKatha on 11 Aug. Also
read: Shah Rukh Khan officially reveals the
title to be Jab Harry Met Sejal with second
poster of the film
It can be noted here that Akshay was the
first one who had booked August 11
(Independence Day) weekend for his film.
That's a different thing that he was initially
supposed to bring Neeraj Pandey's Crack'
on August 11 but due to its indefinite delay,
he then decided to make use of the
Independence Day for his upcoming
patriotic venture, "Toilet Ek Prem Katha.
However, despite knowing Akshay has pre-
booked 2017's Independence Day for his
release, SRK had made Salman Khan
announce the same release date for his
Imtiaz's next, even before titling the film.
Remember Salman had launched the poster
of SRK's film?
Nevertheless, now that the clash has been
averted, looks like it's going to be a pretty
fair deal for both the films. In fact, SRK
doesn't even seem at any loss by taking a
step back considering he too will be getting
a long holiday weekend for Jab Harry Met
Sejal. As Taran Adarsh added saying,
"#JabHarryMetSejal to get two holiday
weekends: 4 Aug 2017 having Raksha
Bandhan holiday on Mon [7 Aug], followed
by Independence Day in Wk 2.

Just yesterday, Shah Rukh Khan had
announced the title of the film (Jab Harry Met
Sejal) along with a couple of posters that
was enough to break the internet. Although
comparisons are being made to Hollywood
film, "When Harry Met Sally given the
similarity in the title of the film but then who
can ignore the beautiful chemistry between
SRK and Anushka on the posters? The
excitement has certainly set in and now
with no box office clash between Shah Rukh
Khan and Akshay Kumar, we can finally
breathe a sigh of relief. Can't wait for the
month of August, already! How about you?
