Most are very well aware by now that Shah Rukh Khan is competing at the box office against Prabhas. Salaar, directed by Prashanth Neel, arrived one day later, on December 22, 2023. Although the genres were different, the fan wars online are quite brutal. In terms of advance booking, the action thriller was way ahead of the comedy-drama and dominated the ticket windows from the beginning.

In fact, the film has managed to stay above the 10 crore mark since the conclusion of the Christmas festivities.
