Salman’s film will not release in Eid 2026
Makers often look to festivals to release films. Almost every year, Eid is dominated by Salman Khan’s films. Salman Khan was last seen in Tiger 3 which released in the year 2023, which did not do business as expected. Now Salman Khan is going to make a comeback with his film ‘Sikandar’ on Eid next year. But the 2026 Eid will not be taken by Salman, but by Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.
Eid and Salman Khan have a close relationship with each other. Salman Khan dominates theaters on the occasion of Eid. Like every time, next year 2025 also Bhaijaan is coming to celebrate Eid as ‘Sikandar’ for his fans. But not Salman Khan, but Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor have booked Eid 2026 for their films. Now you might be wondering why this is so, the reason is Salman Khan himself. Let us tell you how.
Shah Rukh-Ranbir will do wonders on Eid 2026, not Salman
According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ and Ranbir Kapoor’s Love and War will release on Eid 2026 instead of Salman. Salman will not have a film ready for the Eid weekend of 2026, which is why the makers of ‘King’ and ‘Love and War’ have decided to release their films.
That’s why Salman’s film will not release in Eid 2026
Sources connected with Salman Khan’s film have said that Salman will complete the shooting of Sikandar by December 2024 and will start work on his next film with Atlee in 2025. Salman’s film will be a mega-budget entertainer, which will be shot till 2025 and then the VFX will also take a lot of time. Salman and Atla’s next film may release only in the second half of 2026, leaving the Eid slot vacant. In such a situation, producers have taken advantage of this empty slot and announced the release of their films in Eid 2026.
Shahrukh will be seen with daughter Suhana Khan on Eid 2026
Now Shah Rukh and his daughter Suhana Khan’s film ‘King’ will release on Eid 2026. Seeing the empty slot of Eid 2026, King’s producers Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh both want their film to release on Eid. Shah Rukh Khan’s film has not released on Eid since the film ‘Chennai Express’. The way the shooting timeline of this film has been prepared, it is possible that the picture will be ready by Eid 2026.
There will be a clash between Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir
But Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor are going to clash at the box office on Eid 2026. Love and War director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has recently announced that his ‘Love and War’ will also release on the occasion of Eid 2026. Earlier the film was slated to release on the occasion of Christmas 2025. The makers will release Love and War on March 20, 2026.
How much power do the actors of ‘King’ and ‘Love and War’ have?
Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal will be seen in lead roles in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love and War’. There is a lot of discussion going on about this film. While Shah Rukh Khan will be seen on screen for the first time with daughter Suhana Khan in ‘King’. Sujoy Ghosh is directing this film.
