Not Salman, Shah Rukh declared as the SULTAN of Bollywood

Sultan might have come and taken the box office by storm but seems like social media begs to differ.

Shah Rukh Khan beat Salman Khan to win the Sultan title in a recent poll conducted by BollywoodLife. We quizzed our readers who amongst SRK, Salman, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar deserved to be called as the Sultan of Bollywood.

While Salman’s film with Anushka Sharma garnered a lot of appreciation from fans and minted money too at the box office, it was King Khan who emerged as the winner in this poll.

This might come as a shocker to Bhai fans however, looks like the Raees star’s followers decided to make this a win-win situation for their favourite superstar.

Salman’s Sultan was to originally clash with Shah Rukh’s Raees at the box office, this Eid. But in order to avoid a mega clash and a fight for screens, SRK pulled back.

The bad news for Shah Rukh fans continued as his film opposite Pakistani actress Mahira Khan failed to find a release date this year.

While the movie has been pushed to January 2017, we hear the makers are still negotiating with Hrithik’s Kaabil team to avoid another clash and bag the Republic Day release date.

Even as Raees woes continue, this small win might just pep up SRK fans.

Shah Rukh Khan won the BollywoodLife Sultan poll with 47 percent vote while Salman Khan, who played the titular role, stood at number two with 35 percent votes.

Hrithik Roshan bagged 11 percent votes while Akshay and Aamir managed just about 3 percent each. Looks like King Khan fans are eagerly waiting for their hero to strike back and strike hard.

All we can say is that buddies SRK and Salman can both now brag that they are the Sultans of B-town.
