Here’s what Maratha Mandir owner and renowned exhibitor Manoj Desai has to say about Dunki vs Salaar. Read on
This Friday, we will witness the most-anticipated clash of the most-awaited films, Dunki and Salaar. Led by Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, respectively, the film has been making the right kind of noise for the past few weeks. However, the buzz is growing stronger as the films are approaching their releases. Raj Kumar Hirani‘s directorial will be released tomorrow, i.e., Dec 21, while Prashant Neel-helmed film will hit the big screens a day after, i.e., Dec 22. Now Maratha Mandir owner and renowned exhibitor Manoj Desai has reacted to the biggest clash.
Before the release of the film, a few media reports suggested that the makers of Prabhas starrer have pulled out the film from two theatre chains, PVR Inox and Miraj, owing to the unequal slots of films while being biased towards Dunki, especially in North. Read the whole story here.
Manoj Desai spoke at length about the clash and threw some light on the North Vs South debate. He told News 18, “Jab South ke directors have started a trend here. They started doing our Bollywood film. So these are South and Bollywood should not happen. As I am telling you right now, I am giving an interview, the more donkey you get, the more salary you will get. I am speaking for both of you. Then if you are in South then say this is our Prabhas film (makes mocking sound). And what is Dunki? You earned a lot during your studies and youth. Why don't you realize that? Why don’t you wake up Hyderabad?”
He was also asked if Dunki will earn more than Pathan And Jawan because it is releasing on Christmas, he said, “Aisi koi baat nahi hai. Pathaan Pathaan thi, Gadar 2 Gadar 2 thi, Jawan Jawan thi.”
Later, when he was asked about Dunk Makers' demand to get 100% of shows, while Salaar makers are asking for 2 shows, he called it unfair. “I am sad that you should avoid individual theatres. “Many individual theaters have been closed, and those that are left, you are not opening their bookings.”
In the latest interview, Hombale owner Chaluve Gowda, reacted to the same and confirmed its withdrawal from PVR Inox & Miraj’s chains in South also.
