After trouncing the competition (Mohenjo Daro) during the ‘Independence Day’ weekend this year, Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey were quick to announce their next film ‘Crack’ for the same weekend next year.
The announcement came just days after there were strong reports within the industry, that Imtiaz Ali and Shah Rukh Khan were eyeing the ‘freedom weekend’ to release their next film, which has already gone on floors in Prague.
Attached is our tweet on August 15, soon after ‘Crack’ was announced.
Just when there was talk that SRK – Imtiaz were looking at 11 August 2017 as a potential date for their next film, comes a big announcement!
— Indicine.com (@indicine) August 15, 2016
It’s a well known fact that Shah Rukh likes to announce the release dates of his film, only after it goes on floors. By sticking to this strategy the superstar has missed out on all the big dates.
While Eid is no longer an option for any actor other than Salman Khan, announcing films early for weekends like Diwali, Post IPL, Independence Day etc, can make the competition think twice before announcing their own film.
With the unexpected announcement of ‘Crack’ coming early, the makers of Imtiaz Ali’s film are now in two minds. If they go ahead and announce the film for the same date, it could set up yet another big clash, which puts the weaker film (even if it isn’t a bad film) at a much bigger risk.
There are other factors too – Akshay Kumar is on a career-high after two major multiplex hits in 2016. Neeraj Pandey himself has a big film like ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, if that film works, it would make ‘Crack’ bigger.
There are also reports that the makers are considering the Dusshera weekend, which has plenty of holidays, but the concern will be ‘Pre-Diwali’ period that will curtail the box office prospects of the film in the long run.
If the clash happens, it’ll not just be SRK vs Akshay, it’ll also be a clash between two acclaimed directors – Imtiaz Ali (Socha Na Tha, Jab We Met, Rockstar, Tamasha) and Neeraj Pandey (Special 26, Baby). Vote and tell us who your favourite director is.

Hahaha…. Still calling him global king/KING Khan!!! It seems global king is one…..
Who runs away from Eid in fear of Bhai.
Who is struggling to surpass 80cr mark lifetime that too during festive season.
Who can’t give a HGOTY for 9 years..
Who is doing character role in a Alia starrer to cross 100cr mark.
LOL.
@zuheeb
Listen munni, ye jo tu ATHG ATHG karr raha hai…. Bhai delivered ATHG way back in 1994 (ur idol didn’t even delivered a blockbuster till then forget ATHG or ATBB). While your idol achieved the same in 2012. Feel the difference you loggerheaded jerk.
Your global king had been chasing Bhai’s highest grosser record for 18 years. While, Bhai chased queen’s highest grossers record only for 1 year. Now don’t say that 1 year is longer period than 20 years….LOL.
Blabbering on Bhai’s Eid releases! Answer to a few simple questions…. Who stops your tiny star to release his movies on Eid??? If Eid guarantees 300cr/ATBB then WTH your tiny Overactor runs away from Eid this year??? Does not he want his movies to collect 300cr & bcm ATBB???
Your Loongiwala mates are calling Bhai 2010 star again and again. Shouldn’t I show them the reality by posting those articles???
I didn’t start any comparison, it’s your Loongiwala mates who started these all. Btw, footfalls of a 2000 disaster Mela was also bigger than CDI, mhn, kank etc. When u have to quote these fake footfalls. If these footfalls are fake why do not you enlighten us by posting real footfalls???
When did I say that deewana & trimurty are not srk movies??? ANDHI ho gaye ho kya??? It’s you who has continuously chanting that hahk, Sajan, Jeet are not Bhai movies. In reply I just said deewana & trimurty are also multistarrers. Why are you making yourself the new version of #javed & #sss???
@zuheeb 5:16pm
According to the same Loongiwala logic……
Bhai without Eid- 195crs (PRDP)
Srk without Eid- 176crs (hny)
Bhai on Eid- 316crs (BB).
Srk on Eid- 208crs (ce).
Bhai without Eid & Deewali- 152cr (D2).
Srk without Eid & Deewali- 106cr (don2).
Bhai without edx- 122cr (Ready).
Srk withot edx- 83cr (billu 2).
Each & every way Bhai is miles ahead of your tiny star. What you say?????

ha ha, bachho ( hritik )ko harakar akshay super star Nani ban sakta woh toh
pehle usko 150 core toh touch karne do
ranvver ,ranbir , hritik already crossed
shame on akshay
common srk and hritik and Salman fan show your power to akshay fan that akshay is only 80 core star
Akshay Kumar is best all the way
I don’t know overseas but I know akshays has greater value than srk in India even akshay do at least 4 films /year his fans were divided his collection in 2015 was 95 cr, 85 cr 84 cr and 92 cr.respectively. when he come with 1 film per year and good songs , successful director , and huge promotion he easily cross 180 cr to 230 cr. But not srk dilwalle cross only 148 cr then he arrive at 14 months of hny . it cross 148 cr because best director , varun dhawan and good songs , and holidays . if it is not in that movie it difficult to cross 100 cr.and chennai exp is due to lots of holiday and 1 st time with rohit sheety and heavy promotion and deepika padukone and song that all rajnikanth fan show that film.he affair with akki then he push his film. And hny due to its trailer.but movie is fully bakwaas. Single srk is nothing e.g are ” FAN” .I don’t know why he got so much nomination and awards from Filmfare i think he buy it .best actor for dilwalle , chennai express ( he do fully overacting in Chennai express ) best film for cheenai exp .even akshay not nominate for baby , nawaj for manjhi the mountain man etc. I think fan will won best film of the year and srk for best actor . Akshay is really great his movie in 2016 is really great Airlift 128 cr . H3 109 cr. Rustom 119 still running.
@ hrithik
She says my choice and it is her choice is to follow shahrukh. Then what was wrong? Is not it your choice to follow sallu and mine to follow shahrukh? Defending your comments you give irrational comment again. Angry at her for doing HNY? She had OSO CE with SRK and may be thought HNY will be BB also. Movie choice go wrong. You wiil be also angry at Sonam for doing crap PRDP? Salman Kabir deliver 2 Bbs and naturally doing 3rd movie. Successul pairs repeat themselves and some times do not deliver. Whole life sallu has done brainless masala movies and you are angry at deepika for doing one with shah. Did not expect that argument from you.
@Shahrukh Fan
sorry am new to social media, I will take care of words from next time

@NN thanks bro! Will take care! New to this platform!
@Unmatchable akki, don’t use words like thrash. Because you are no one to thrash megastars like Aamir and salman. Its only because of idiotic fans like you, we bash akshay. Otherwise I don’t have anything with akshay. So first learn to respect other stars if you want your star to be respected. And improve your language.
@tiger-the real chuha,fact will never gonna change.your 2010 born decade struggler disaster have no aukat with out south remake/masala genre.what would happened if Prabhu Deva wouldn’t have come in main time?
Simple,bhai would have begged bheek Infront of MANNAT,ROFL.as simple as that.
GLOBAL MEGASTAR IS THE ONE ,WHO never gave BIGGEST disaster like our bhai like nischay,marigold(even less than 4.5CR YLJK),and thi decade also 37cr veer disaster,then what about that bhojpuri chaddi/bikiniwale?,rofl.
But don’t tey to take advantage if Madhuri’s movie hahk in which She won award and charged so higher than your decade struggler non actor,rofl.your decade struggler was doing supporting roles only in every star’s movies till 2009—-the arrival of Prabhu Deva.
Now don’t say about DTPH,DEVDAS—-BOTH KING KHAN won best performance but also charged so much higher than Madhuri and She was not the alone heroine in those movies too.
Then comes about records.after giving EID bheek to your darpok hit-n-run bhagoda,but still your recordless bhagoda aukatless remained recordless.
chasing HNY’S,pk’s record since 2014 shamelessly.
chasing ATHG from last 22 years(kab dega bheekari kab dega)?????,rofl.
But officially KING KHAN already gave ATHG in 2007 through OSO and finally in CE,ROFL.
and after your bheekari star STRUGGLED 16 years long(1994-2010) to get a single hgoty of his own starrer film,rofl.
And giving lowest grossers in every decade.
Still you’re calling this aukatless beggar a star,rofl.
At least your bhai struggled for 11 YEARS.but KING KHAN couldn’t give HIT only in one year.now don’t say struggling decade is having much more star power than one year,rofl.
and MEGASTAR made nanga your 1 rupee bheekari 3 TIMES—-DON VS jaaneman,CDI VS marigold,OSO VS saawariya,rofl.aur kitna nanga hota lallu?????,rofl.that’s why ADITYAJI requested RAEES BHAI,hence you know HOW BIG HEART RAEES BHAI has,hence HE gave mercy to your 1 rupee decade struggler.YRF na hota toh 1 rupee decade struggle beggar would have did suicide right now or would have begged bheek infeont of MANNAT,ROFL.
AND still at this age KING KHAN has the guts to a challenging role with half age Alia,while your decade struggler buddha was looking 3 times mota and grandpa of Anushka in phultan,what about that?????,rofl.
If your decade struggler hit-n-run all clash dwfeated nanga bhagoda bhai can do supporting role with 1 rupee star like ajay in London dreams,with sohail-arbaaz in kissan and can did small roles with even Ranbir in saawariya and many such movies like saawan etc etc.then why 25 YEAR AGED LOOKING KING SRK can do a passionate role with Alia Bhatt?????,rofl.it is insecurity/jealousy /or what?????just because your bhai becomes swelled mota and gone out of shape, not looking good that doesn’t mean you’ll be jelaous of others,rofl.
@rejan,tell me just one thing.after writing such convincing posts against Me,Javed bro,could you convinced a single stubborn salman fan who hates KING KHAN?????no,right?????then what’s the benefit of barking so much?????they’re not listen you even if you’ll lick their feet.so if you’re really a HONEST SRKIAN and don’t want to hate any actor ,then just give comment in 1ST,2ND page ,then vanish.and try to learn something from @ANK amd others.if you can’t help anyone at least don’t make trouble by trying to convince criminal fans.
@hrithik,wow SATYABADI HARISHCHNDRA spotted.you all criminals fans are as much as innocent as like your bhai.no doubt about that,rofl.everybody knew about that,and please you don’t bark much,rofl.
@ Rejan
Look I follow here guys like xzone, challa, Ank, the phenom, etc. and would not have cared what you say or not. You said that shah fan base is reacting negatively to your “kind appealing”. I had to clarify on behalf of my fan base that our back lash was because of some of your silly comments which I shared specifically. Regarding not posting full comments I talked about your good lengthy comments defending shahrukh. See that your so called “largest fan base globally” along with other fan bases is supporting akki here. Still we “smaller fan base” shah fans have managed 2,677 (46%) votes compared to 3,101 (54%) votes of rest all. Surprising votes for a “smaller fan base” right? Akkians have a large fan base we know. If supported by your so called “largest fan base globally” , Ajay and many Aamir fans also then how come the margin is so small? If your so called largest fan base is supporting akki fan base with others it should have been at least 75/25 ratio right? It is the recent script choices where Shahrukh has gone wrong. Otherwise fan base of shahrukh globally is no lesser than any other star. Some shah fans have reduced commenting here after Dilwale/Fan which gives impression that we are fewer but it is not that way. It is all about selecting right movies by Shahrukh and not asking sallu fans to watch shahrukh movie. We do not need support of any fan base and as I said before we are proud of our star in any case.
You should continue doing/saying, kind appealing whatever you want to. You have apologised which is enough and let us just end it here.
@ Indicine approve these comments nothing wrong in it

@sss
Okay yaar!
@TIGER acc to Salman fans ATHG defines stardom, LOL
From when did ATHG start defining stardom? In that sense Sunny Deol would be the biggest of 2000s
accept these facts, I m not quoting BOI, but there was just 8 cr difference in HAHK and DDLJ(acc to Indicine) and then at that time a flop movie would also 7-collect 8 cr(example Yaarana a disaster collected 7 cr with clash with DDLJ, Andaaz apna apna did 11 crore) So that doesnt bring big difference, PK>BB, 3idiots>Dabbang, still Salman was considered bigger crowd-puller from 2010
Record openers(Day 1) in 90s
1. SRK
a. Karan arjun
b. Trimurti(broke Karan Arjun)-2 years
c. Koyla(broke Trimurti) day 1-Few months
Salman
a. Karan Arjun
b. Biwi no. 1-Few months
Opening shows real stardom. Even SRKs bad movies like English Baabu deshi mam had a fair opening. A flop unfortunately but still good Dil Se opened big in 1998.
In 2000s
K3g opened to 98 percentage all time occupancy in Day 1, best in these 25 years
Main Hoo na broke K3g RECORD
Acc to Some People and websites Veer Zaara had record day 1
Om Shanti Om, CE, HNY
Only SRK rules!
From 2001 ending to 2005 beggining
Top Day 1
Main hoo na
Veer Zaara
K3g
Devdas
KHNH
All 5 were SRK films
Has Salman ever achieved this
This is stardom
SRK fan wo sab to thik he, thought why some people love SRK and out of curiosity tried watching couple of movies of SRK, but damn every time I look into the screen it puts me into sleep. Any SRK fan plz suggest how to tolerate whole movie without getting bored
@ Rew1,
You got it right now…
It is as simple as You said it…

@mekanik
Abey moronic Loongiwala, Bhai is rulling the industry since his debut (1989). Actually it’s your global king who born after 2000 (also died in 2008). Take a look….
Total Net Collections for each actor between 1990 – 1999:
Salman Khan – 375 crore
Shah Rukh Khan – 327 crore
Average net box office collections per film between 1990 – 1999
Salman Khan – 12.9 crore
Shah Rukh Khan – 11.7 crore
Success Ratio i.e Above Average or better
Salman Khan – 52%
Shah Rukh Khan – 39%
Hit Ratio i.e Hit or Better
Salman Khan – 45%
Shah Rukh Khan – 32%
Highest grosser of the decade
Salman Khan – 69cr.
Shah rukh Khan – 61cr.
For confirmation you moronic loongitards can check here http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/145301/comment-page-8/#comments.
Do you even know the meaning of BGGEING??? Actually BEGGING is that what your global king did to Jituji to postpone OUATIMD. Wanna see more examples of BEGGING? Then check here you will how shamelessly your global queen is begging Republic day from Rakeshji. http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/shah-rukh-khan-meets-rakesh-roshan/
Listen munni, ye jo tu ATHG ATHG karr raha hai…. Bhai delivered ATHG way back in 1994 (ur idol didn’t even delivered a blockbuster till then forget ATHG or ATBB). While your idol achieved the same in 2012. Feel the difference you loggerheaded jerk.
Your global king had been chasing Bhai’s highest grosser record for 18 years. While, Bhai chased queen’s highest grossers record only for 1 year. Now don’t say that 1 year is longer period than 20 years….LOL.
Hahaha….barking on Veer collections! Only morons can compare a 2016 release movie’s collections with 2010 release movie’s collections. A big congratulation…you are one of them.
What! Global king is looking like a 25years old boy with 20-22 abs on his face!!! You are absolutely wrong. Actually global king looks much younger than Abram….LOL.
Calling Bhai a struggler! FYI in fear of struggler Bhai your global king runs away from Eid. Just imagine if he wouldn’t have been a struggler tera bhagoda toh kabka khudkhushi kar chuka hota… Hahaha.
@rejan
ANDHI ho gaya kya??? When did I say that only ATHG start defining stardom? It’s your Loongiwala mates (eg- #sss, #zuheeb) who are blabbering on Bhai’s ATHG.
ATBB, blockbusters, HGOTD, HGOTY and ATHG these 5 things define the true stardom (apart from opening day & weekend). Chota-mota hit/Superhit toh Sonam kapur & Arjun kapur bhi de deta hai!!
Hahaha…. Still crying over 90’s!! FYI #indicine has already posted an article on 90’s calculating all the facts. Read the comparison of both Bhai & your galaxy king……you can check here http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/145301/comment-page-8/#comments.
According to that article Bhai is miles ahead of your global king. Hence your relentless crying over 90’s is wasted big time…LOL.
@ Rew1,
You got it right now…
It is as simple as You said it…
Give respect and take respect, Bola na Maine,
Shuru Tu karega, Khatam Main…
SRK Will Send Waiter Kumar back toBangkok ?
Please srk, your fan wants “The Ring” in Diwali release…… Clash not reason to avoid because you are The King of Bolly……
Tiger wrong athg, atbb depend on content not stardom. My comment was about opening read carefully pls
And I have not used any gaali galoch
@Tiger the real rickshawala-As many times as you post that stupid manipulated data of the 90’s I will post this- lallu is the teesra khan for 2 long decades according to BOI. Even according to Indicine SRK was no1 in most of the time of his career. That means your Lallu was born after 2010!
