Helmed by War director Siddharth Anand, we wouldn't expect any less from Fighter either. On the other hand, fans have also been despeartely waiting for Shah Rukh Khan’s release Pathaan.

Now, Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan fans will not be engaging in a clash come January 2023, because the media has learnt that the imminent box-office clash between the stars’ respective films Fighter and Pathaan has been avoided. In August last year, it was announced that Hrithik Roshan's Fighter would release on Republic Day in 2023.

A few days ago, SRK announced that his latest, Pathaan would release on January 25, 2023. And the fans started speculating about the clash.

But, the media has learnt that Fighter’s release will take time, because of its production schedule and therefore the chance of SRK and Hrithik Roshan clashing at the box office in 2023 is almost ruled out. Hrithik is at the present shooting for the remake of Vikram Vedha, where he features alongside Saif Ali Khan. Hrithik will only start shooting for Fighter around August this year and is likely to complete the film at one go in a schedule that’s believed to be about 100 days.

This means Fighter will be completed by the end of 2022 and releasing it in the first month of 2023 seems unlikely.
