Shaan Shahid's upcoming film Waar's release is going to coincide with Akshay Kumar's 'Boss', as both the films will release around Eidul Azha.
Boss has been advertised for a local release with subject to censors while distributors of Waar are aiming to capture around 50 screens in Pakistan, the Express Tribune reported.
This Eid would portray the true potential of a big-budget Pakistani film in presence of a genuine competitor, if 'Boss' is not forced into a delay or a possible ban by committees to "protect the national interest".
Waar is expected to do better business at the local box office, if both the film end up being released together, whereas, 'Boss' will only be able to steal a minor share of success.
