Salaar was earlier scheduled to be released on September 28 but was postponed due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Now the film will be facing a big clash with SRK’s Dunki. SRK recently confirmed the release date of Dunki at the success event of Jawan. He said, "We started on January 26, Republic Day (with Pathaan), then on Janmashtami we released 'Jawan', now New Year and Christmas are round the corner, we will release Dunki. I keep National integration. Anyway, when my film is released, it is Eid.”
Helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki also stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role. The flick marks the first collaboration of the Chak De India actor with 3 Idiots fame director Hirani and Pink actor Taapsee.
