Salman Khan’s films are as big as his fanbase and thus he always needs a VIP slot to release them. The long weekends or the festival weekends are always eyed upon by the superstar bhai. After the completion of Race 3, he will soon start shooting for Dabangg 3. However, there have been a lot of speculations about its release date. Earlier, it was reported that it will clash with Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero or Ranveer Singh’s Simmba. Now, it turns out that it might clash with Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra.

The Jodhpur black buck case resulted in rescheduling the work commitments for Sallu bhai, reports TOI. This left less room for the completion and promotion of Race 3, resulting in the delay of Dabangg 3 shoot. Thus, the makers are now looking for a slot near August 15, an Independence Day release for D3. Interestingly, this slot has been already booked by the Brahmastra makers. So, will bhai adjust his dates for Ranbir?

For those who are unaware, the Tiger Zinda Hai actor and handsome Kapoor don’t exactly share a warm relationship, courtesy, their ex Katrina Kaif. The rivalry has been public enough as they hardly cross their paths. Now, if their major films are slotted to clash with each other on such a prime day of the year, no one can escape from a high voltage battle on the silver screen!

While Dabangg 3 is the third installment of the much-loved Dabangg franchise, Brahmastra is an ambitious sci-fi film. Let us see if bhai decides to avert the clash with Ayan Mukerji’s directorial just like he did it with Zero and Simmba.
