While Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan will share the screen for the big Eid release this year,
Bharat
, it seems that the two stars are set to lock horns next year at the same time. With Katrina
coming on board
Sooryavanshi, Eid 2020 is all set to witness one of the biggest
box-office clashes
of the year. [caption id=“attachment_6491331” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Katrina Kaif has come on board with Sooryavanshi (left), Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt’s Inshallah is also set for Eid 2020[/caption] Akshay Kumar, who will play the chief of Anti-Terrorism Squad in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, announced on Monday that Katrina has been added to Shetty’s ever-expanding cop-verse. Back in March, the actor had shared that his film has booked the Eid 2020 slot for its big release. Later that month, Salman too confirmed that his film opposite Alia Bhatt, Inshallah, is set to hit screens on the same day. During an
interaction
with Bollywood Hungama, Salman stated, “We will come on Eid, next year.” He added that he will start working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s project only after the completion of
Dabangg 3,
since the film is scheduled for a December 2019 release. In the last seven years, Salman has had seven blockbusters releasing on Eid. Wanted (2009) Dabangg (2010) Bodyguard (2011) Ek Tha Tiger (2012) Kick (2014)
Bajrangi Bhaijaan
(2015)
Sultan
(2016) Hence, with Akshay taking the Eid slot, the move might
break Salman’s dominion
over the holiday.
