If not of ‘Dinky’, then what fear is haunting Prabhas?
Just 2 days and then there will be the biggest clash of the year 2023 at the box office. For which there is a war going on between the fans of megastar Shahrukh Khan and Prabhas since long. Who will win the game and who will not, will be known only after face to face. But the coming together of two big films at the box office will be no less than a game of chess. The Badshah of Bollywood will get the chance to make the first move in this game, because Shahrukh’s ‘Dinky’ is hitting the theaters a day earlier i.e. on 21st December. So Prabhas will get a chance to try his hand after a day i.e. on 22nd December.
Prabhas may have definitely said in ‘Salaar’, I want whatever is in front of my eyes… but this competition will not be easy for him. How Prabhas will prove himself in the theaters resonating with the noise of Hardy Hardy, this is going to be a big challenge.
What fear is troubling Prabhas?
At present, the thing that worries Prabhas more than the South is the North Belt. Because whatever Prabhas wanted from there has not been done yet. Now you must be thinking, the film has not even been released and leaving the South aside we are telling you the story of the North Belt, what kind of joke is this? But let us tell you, the real strength lies in this place, understand how…

#Timing of film release: Many greats have come and gone in this box office battle. But from the beginning till now, only one name has been making noise in Bollywood this year, that is Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh, who is returning to the film screen after four years, did not mess with ‘Pathan’ and ‘Jawaan’. Which proved to be absolutely right for many stars. Shahrukh Khan gave two 1000 crore films in one year. But even after seeing this record, Prabhas took the risk, which has now become a fear.
After repeatedly pushing back the release date, the makers of ‘Salaar’ announced the release of the film on December 22. Which is a day after Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Dinky’. The trailer of ‘Salaar’ has been successful in creating a stir. You may have to bear the loss of releasing the film at the wrong timing.
# Big shock due to screen share distribution: An atmosphere was created, the same thing was discussed again and again and there was deep thinking about equality. But Prabhas could not get what he wanted. You should understand the accounting of multiplexes of North India like this. There are a total of three screens here, of which ‘Dinky’ had already got 46 percent of the total shows. Now the remaining part. For which Multiplex decided that they will give 30 percent to ‘Saalar’. 14 percent shows were handed over to ‘Aquaman 2’ and only Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal’ will be shown on the remaining 10 percent screens.
Before this film, Prabhas has received a lot of love from the audience in North Belt. But this time he also knew who was in front of him. Therefore, all efforts were made, but the matter could not be reached on 50-50 percent.
#Working with Bollywood stars: The record of South films has already been excellent. But one thing that Prabhas is missing at this time is the presence of Bollywood stars in the film. Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Jawaan’ featured many well-known faces from the South, hence the audience accepted the film with open arms and it earned handsomely. If Prabhas had also done something similar, it was expected that the film would have benefited from the star’s own fan base.
# Promotion in North India: Everyone’s eyes are fixed on Prabhas’s ‘Salaar’ which has been carrying the tag of flop since last few films. It is natural for this to happen, because this is no less than a test for his stardom. But leave aside the North, Prabhas is very calm even in the South when it comes to promotions. It is being said again and again that Prabhas is taking the entire responsibility of the film with his back hand. But how effective it will prove to be without promotion will be known only after its release.
What strategy was prepared for the South Belt?
The things that Shahrukh Khan is seen doing to benefit his ‘Dinky’, on the contrary, Prabhas doesn’t know where he is stuck? The actor’s tension does not end here. Even if there is no income from the North Belt, it is not yet clear how successful the actors will be in connecting with their audience in the South. With ‘Jawaan’, Shahrukh Khan has raised his image in the South Belt to such an extent that there are full chances of loss here too. Of course, Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Dinky’ got very little response from here. But the audience that will flock towards him will be very fond of Prabhas after the box office figures come in.
