The Raees-Kaabil clash at the box-office took a new turn when the screen distribution of the two films was reportedly divided in a 60:40 ratio as opposed to the earlier 50:50 one.

When Shah Rukh Khan, whose film has managed to rake in Rs 46.72 crore at the box-office in two days, was asked about the Roshans crying foul over the manner in which the exhibitors were unfair to Kaabil in favour of Raees, he said:

Professional and personal life is very different. Our marketing team did what they think is best and I am sure their marketing team also did what is best for them.

The producer of Kaabil, Rakesh Roshan has also threatened to quit Bollywood over this 'betrayal’. So when SRK was asked about mending fences with the senior producer, here’s what he said:

If I had a father, I would make him talk to Rakeshji. But he’s no more. <i>(Mere </i>father<i> hote toh main unse baat kara deta, lekin mere father nahi hai.)</i>
Shah Rukh Khan (via E 24)
