Nobody Messes With Salman Khan At Eid Box Office; Will Prabhas & Sandeep Reddy Vanga Move Away?

Bollywood megastar Salman Khan has been struggling at the box office for years now, but he is still one of the biggest stars of Indian cinema and is often invincible at the box office when it comes to Eid holiday.

Recently, the actor began filming for his new yet untitled movie directed by Telugu filmmaker Vamshi Paidipally and is tentatively called "SVC63" aka #SalmanKhanVamshiPaidipallyFilm.

Soon after commencing the shoot, Salman Khan took to social media and announced the movie's released date - Eid 2027.

The release date announcement immediately went viral as fans started wondering if they are now going to witness one of the biggest box office clashes of Indian cinema because Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit starring Prabhas and Vivek Oberoi is already announced to release in the same festive period.
