It is official now! Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas will clash at the box office as their films are releasing on December 22. The makers of the Prabhas starrer Salaar: Part 1 Ceasefire confirmed the date after much speculation by fans online. Excitement about its release has been on an all-time high ever since its teaser was released, which established the film's look and put everyone on the edge of their seats. The teaser was viewed more than 84 million times in 24 hours when it came on YouTube, breaking all records right away.

Made by KGF director Prashanth Neel, Salaar is a high-octane action film with a similar dark appeal as the two-part blockbuster.

It is a social-comedy drama about a technique employed in illegal immigration called donkey flight. Expectations are soaring as Hirani's trademark style joins Shah Rukh Khan's stardom and worldwide appeal.

For both Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, it will be an important film release. The box office battle is expected to be made even bigger by fans of the megastars across the country.

Ever since his comeback in January with Pathaan, he has again been the talk of the town, with everyone loving his new avatar in the action films. His latest release, Jawan, is still doing well at the box office and has earned more than 1000 crores.

The Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas clash at the box office is going to be a big one, ending the year with a bang. Only time will tell which film will fare better and make history.
