Salaar vs Dunki advance box office: Prabhas’ action-thriller increases lead over Shah Rukh Khan’s comedy drama

Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan took to his X handle and wrote about the ‘unfair screen sharing’ between the two films. He said, “Pan India Star #Prabhas’ #Salaar unlikely to release in PVR INOX due to unfair screen sharing with #ShahRukhKhan’s #Dunki. “The makers have withdrawn the release of Salaar from the multiplex chains in the South Indian Markets. They won’t be releasing Salaar in any of their properties in the South Market.” “Hombale team is planning to take stern action against Ajay Bijli & PVR-Inox in the time to come as the decision has been made by him.”

Helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani among others. The film was released in the Hindi language.  Salaar will be released in four languages –Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. The film is helmed by Prashanth Neel.

Dunki is Shah Rukh’s third film this year. The actor was previously seen in Atlee’s Jawan and Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan. Each of those films minted more than Rs 1000 crore worldwide. Prabhas hasn’t had much luck in his post-Baahubali career, with Saaho, Radhe Shyam, and Adipurush, all struggling at the box office. It’s been a streak of high-profile flops for him.
