The excitement is soaring as Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’s Salaar gear up for an epic clash this weekend. The clash is a bit tricky this time, with Dunki releasing on Thursday, December 21, and Salaar hitting cinemas on Friday, December 22. This means Dunki will get more spotlight on its first day. However, there are some challenges with show-sharing, and it may take a while to resolve the issues. As a result, several single screens are currently unable to open bookings, leaving Manoj Desai, executive director of G7 Multiplex and Maratha Mandir Cinema, quite upset.
When entertainment portal Bollywood Hungama called him to know his thoughts about Dunki and Salaar, an upset Desai said, “We haven’t been allowed to open the bookings. Not just our theatres, but all single screens have been instructed to hold the bookings. In most multiplexes, only the booking for Thursday has been allowed. That’s it. Dunki is releasing on Thursday and these people are just not ready to solve the problem. They just want to prioritise multiplexes from where they get the maximum revenue. We, meanwhile, are been left to suffer. I am sorry for my language but every time, there’s a clash, we get f****d. What should we do?”
G7 Multiplex, which comprises seven theaters, has initiated bookings for Dunki exclusively on Thursday at the 1000-seater Gaiety, managed by Manoj Desai. Recently, it was revealed that Shah Rukh Khan’s fans have arranged a 5:55 am show for Dunki on its release day at Gaiety. Bookings for Friday onwards are still pending. Regarding the single-screen Maratha Mandir, bookings haven’t started even for Thursday.
Speaking about it, Desai added, “Anyone would be angry that a film is releasing in just three days and yet, we can’t take benefit of it and sell tickets. They are ruining the film. Koi Shah Rukh Khan ko bole yeh baat that they are f****g with his film.”
