Superstar Salman Khan made a big announcement about the release date of Dabangg 3 on Friday. Salman revealed that the movie would release on December 20 this year. This news eventually led to stories of Dabangg 3 clashing with Karan Johar’s Brahmastra, as the film had an identical release date.
If this had to happen, this clash would’ve been one of the biggest ones this year. However, the makers of Brahmastra have decided to push their film to 2020. This is a huge relief to both the filmmakers as going head-to-head at the box office wouldn’t have been advisable.
The makers of Brahmastra, including Karan Johar and director Ayan Mukerji took to their social media handles to announce a new release date in a statement. Johar wrote, “Dreams are built with love & hard work! #Brahmastra coming in Summer 2020! (sic).” Meanwhile, Ayan Mukerji’s statement read, “To whoever it may concern at this point... people from our film industry, and movie lovers who follow movie news, I have something to share about Brahmastra right now. In the past week, I have learnt that all the teams working on the movie, led by my VFX teams, need more time in order to get the VFX, sound and music right, and eventually to get the film right. With that in mind, we are moving away from Christmas 2019 as our goal for the release of the movie. Our release date is now slated for Summer 2020 but I don’t want to be hasty this time, and say it until one is absolutely certain. Back to film work then! So much to do..(sic).”
