Ajay Devgn Speaks On Box-Office Clash With Akshay Kumar

MUMBAI, (IANS) – Ajay Devgn, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming theatrical film ‘Maidaan’, broke his silence on the box-office clash between ‘Maidaan’ and ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ which features Akshay Kumar and action star Tiger Shroff in the lead.

Both the films are set to square off against each other at the box office on Eid in April.

The actor was asked to speak on the clash between two films, he responded in a heartbeat as he said, “I was waiting for this question. See, first, I won’t call it a clash. I would never want two films to be released together for obvious reasons of both films suffering in terms of collections but, there are certain situations wherein you don’t have a choice but to release your film with another film. Such things are sometimes not under our control.”

He continued, “Both the films belong to different genres. Akshay, I and everyone are like a family, and we are best of friends. We don’t look at it as a clash, our perspective is different. For us, it’s a big weekend, a festival time which will surely benefit our film. And I hope, rather I’m confident that both the films will do good business.”

The exact release date of the film is yet to be announced by the makers.
