Shah Rukh Khan's Zero and Ranveer
Singh's Simmba are both much-awaited
big-ticket movies, which were earlier set
for a clash during the Christmas season.
Now they will release a week apart to
avoid the box office collections getting
affected, says Simmba director Rohit
Shetty.
Talking about the potential business that
might get affected due to the release of
these two films, Shetty said here on
Friday: "I think one week is enough and
there is no competition. Earlier we were
planning to come on the same day, but
then we went into a discussion.

"We decided not to come together
because that would affect numbers. It
was a mutual decision. If the film does
well in the first week, it will go on. Rohit
was present at the Jagran Cinema
Summit where he spoke about
understanding the pulse of the mass
audience for the commercial cinema, in
which he has carved a niche with films
like Golmaal, Singham, and Chennai
Express.
Asked if he is interested in making a
biopic on someone, Shetty said: "If I ever
want to make a film on a personality, I
would love to make a film on Maratha
warrior Shivaji Maharaj. I can make it
really well.

Rohit prevented a clash of some other film with Zero.Zero is not a solo Xmas  type of film..

Films by Ajay,John,Akshay...would have tried to get that extra b buzz due to the clash..and make a reasonable amount of money till the republic day holiday release on Jan 26th.

Vicky Kaushal would make  a good choice for Shivaji though he is a bit taller...I doubt whether Rohit is serious abt making a movie on Shivaji... Edited by raj80 - 5 years ago
