With Sooryavanshi releasing in March, Laxmmi Bomb on Eid and Prithviraj in Diwali, the Khiladi Kumar will still rule at the box office of 2020 and give a rather fantastic start to 2021 with his action drama.

Earlier Aamir Khan had taken to his Twitter account to thank Akshay and producer Sajid Nadiadwala for pushing ahead the release of Bachchan Pandey. This decision ensured that Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha gets a solo release on Christmas. Well, with Aamir enjoying the Christmas and Akshay taking the Republic Day weekend next year, it seems like a win-win situation for both.
