In the much coveted clash between 'Raees' and 'Sultan' this July, Shah Rukh has blinked first, making an announcement citing the postponing of his film to next year. Along with producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment, Shah Rukh released an official statement saying, “It was not an easy decision to move the film. We understand that this film is highly anticipated. However, a movie of such magnitude requires the appropriate showcasing and therefore, we have decided to shift our release date to 26 January 2017.” SRK has never backed down from a box office clash before, which makes us wonder why he chose to take the step this time.
