Salaar vs Dunki advance box office: Prabhas-starrer trails behind Shah Rukh Khan’s film, sells 150000 tickets

However, the film faces stiff competition from Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated Dunki, slated for release on December 21. The competition is apparent in their advance booking collections, with the SRK-starrer leading the way with Rs 4.46 crore in advance bookings. Both films opened their advance bookings on December 15. Shah Rukh Khan’s recent successes with Jawan and Pathaan give Dunki an edge, making it a formidable contender against Prabhas’s Salaar.

Directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the banner of Hombale Films, Salaar boasts a stellar cast, including Prabhas Raju Uppalapati, Shruthi Haasan, and Madhu Guruswamy in pivotal roles. Earlier, Salaar producer Vijay Kirgandur discussed the clash with Dunki in an interview with Bollywood Hungama. Vijay mentioned that the team does not want things to be “ugly” and is actively engaging with exhibitors and distributors.

“When we have a solo release, the occupancy generally will be around 60-70%. Some screens will go to Aquaman but between Salaar and Dunki, we hope to get 50-50 screens in the best scenario. In such a scenario, if an occupancy of 90-100% is achieved, it’ll be a good result for both films,” he said.
