This clash has sent waves of excitement and anticipation through fans and the film industry alike.The announcement of this clash came after much speculation and a change in Salaar's release date. Originally slated for a September 28 release, technical issues caused a delay, ultimately leading to the Christmas showdown. "Dunki" had reportedly already secured its spot on Christmas, but the release date had yet to be officially confirmed.
Film trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan took to Twitter to break the news to fans, stating that Prabhas' "Salaar" was "CONFIRMED to hit the BIG screens worldwide on 22 December 2023."

With "Dunki," he is set to add another feather to his cap. During an 'Ask SRK' session, a fan asked him about "Dunki's" release date, to which Shah Rukh Khan confidently replied, "Dunki is fixed. Aur kya karoon maathe pe gudwa loon (Should I get it tattooed on my head now)?"
The clash between these two mega-stars is not only a treat for their respective fan bases but also a testament to the ever-evolving and expanding Indian film industry. "Salaar" is a Pan India film, while "Dunki" promises to be a significant cinematic experience in its own right.
