Shah Rukh also replied positively and said that wished he could have avoided the clash. "@iHrithik wish could have avoided overlap of releases. That said...my love to u & @yamigautam dad & @_SanjayGupta. Kaabil wil b awesome," SRK said.
Raees, starring Shah Rukh, Mahira Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was initially supposed to release with Salman Khan's Sultan last year, but it got delayed. The film's release date was later finalised as January 26, which was same as Hrithik's Kaabil. Despite several attempts, the makers of both the films could not change the release date.
Nevertheless, Kaabil and Raees, both have received positive reviews from critics and audiences.
