Box Office Battle: Salaar vs Dunki - Explosive Withdrawal and Intense Behind-the-Scenes Action

The team behind the film Salaar has withdrawn its release from PVR-Inox multiplex chains in South Indian markets, accusing them of unfair trade practices and favoring the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki. The decision came after PVR-Inox and Miraj allegedly backed off their commitment to provide equal showcasing for both films in single screens. Shah Rukh Khan himself reportedly called PVR owner Ajay Bijli and struck a deal for 100 percent showcasing of Dunki in PVR-Inox single screens. The makers of Salaar are planning to take action against Bijli and PVR-Inox, and the two films are set to clash on December 22.

EU Trade Chief Vows to Address China Trade Imbalance and Strengthen Relations

The European Union's trade chief, Valdis Dombrovskis, has vowed to adopt a more assertive approach towards China due to unfair trade practices, as the bloc's trade deficit with China reached a record high of 396 billion euros ($421 billion) last year. Dombrovskis called on China to address the lack of reciprocity in the economic relationship and expressed concerns about China's politicized business environment, discriminatory standards, and security requirements. Tensions between the EU and China also extend to the tech sector, with export curbs and restrictions on advanced chipmaking technology. The EU has launched an investigation into China's state support for electric vehicle makers, while China has criticized the probe as protectionist. The EU has broader concerns about the business environment for European companies in China and China's stance on the Ukraine conflict.
