Raees is now clashing with Hrithik's Kaabil. Here's what you should know about the new contender

Hrithik's film is a love story/revenge drama - could it give Raees serious competition?
06 May, 2016

SRK and Mahira just can't catch a break.

After the release of Raees was postponed to January 26 from its initial Eid release, it turns out the film still faces competition in the box office.

Now, instead of Salman Khan's Sultan, Hrithik's Kaabil will be clashing with their film.

Just how stiff will be the competition?

According to the writer Sanjay Masoom, who has previously worked on Krrish and Krrish 3, describes the movie as "an interesting love story/revenge drama based in Mumbai."

Hrithik falls in love and marries Yami Gautam, but in a plot twist her character dies, following which he sets out to seek revenge.

The writer also reveals, "Hrithik plays a blind man so I had to understand that aspect of the character before writing."

The film has been directed by Sanjay Gupta.

Hrithik shared the teaser for Kaabil along with this cryptic tweet:

The producer Rakesh Rohan is unperturbed by the impending clash with Raees: "We announced it first, way back in February, and will stick to our release date. I can't comment on what happens at the box office now, but we have begun a three month marathon schedule after which we will embark on post-production."

Kabil would be super hit!! SRK is afraid of Salman Khan. He knew that sultan hit will prove that Salman is more famous and better actor than him and people will start ratting Salman ahead of him!! He is jealous of other actors.

Dilwale and Fan has been flopped in India!! Kabil will make Raees also flop!! Mahira should have been introduced by Salman in Bollywood!!

@Yash I think you are mistaken. Remember Kajol, Anushka, Deepika, Shilpa Shetty all debuted against Shahrukh and see where they all are. This is not the same with Salman Khan.
