    MUMBAI: Since the last couple of years, Salman Khan‘s films have been releasing around Eid. The exercise started with Wanted (2010), Dabangg (2010), Ready (2011) Bodyguard (2011) and the latest Ek Tha Tiger.

    But not any more. His next Dabangg 2 is set for a Christmas release. It may be remembered that 23 years ago his first-ever blockbuster Maine Pyar Kiya released on 29 December, 1989. Dabangg 2 is set to hit theatres on 21 December.

    It is said that Salman consciously decided to break the myth surrounding his Eid superstition. He believes that the content of Dabangg 2 is even better than that of the original, hence this is a play to defy the Eid release myth.

    Said producer Arbaaz Khan in a statement, "There are four-five vital release periods in a year, which are important for any big film. Since our film will be ready by the year-end, we decided to release it during the Christmas period."

    The sequel while retaining its lead pair Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, has replaced Sonu Sood with Prakash Raj as the baddie chief.

    The original was directed by Abhinav Kashyap, and was a big turning point in Salman‘s box-office fortune. Actor-turned-producer Arbaaz Khan has now taken the director‘s seat.

    Dabaang 2 not to have Eid release

    MUMBAI: YRF‘s Salman khan-starrer Ek Tha Tiger has been tipped for an Eid release. Going by the penchant of Khan to release his films on the occasion of Eid, it was being rumoured that his other starrer Dabaang 2 would also release on Eid.

    But the rumours have been put to rest by the makers of Dabaang 2. The film will now release during Christmas. The reason: Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2 are completely different films but releasing two films of Khan on the same day wouldn’t be advisable.

    Producer-director Arbaaz Khan feels that crowding the Eid weekend with two Salman releases wouldn‘t be good.

    Meanwhile YRF‘s other release Ishaqzaade will now release on 11th instead of 18 May. The pre-poning of the release is due to the postponing of Vidhu Vinod Chopra‘s Ferrari ki Sawaari that was to release on 11 May but was later postponed.

    YRF confirmed, “With Ferrari ki Sawaari moving to a later date and the IPL crunch matches kicking in from 18 May, this shift will give Ishaqzaade a better window for release.”

    This means that Ishaqzaade will clash with the Kareena Kapoor-starrer Dangerous Ishq that also releases on 11 May.
