Kartik calls Rohit to avoid 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3'-'Singham Again' clash
Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Rohit Shetty-Ajay Devgn's Singham Again are set to clash at the box office this Diwali. However, recent reports suggest that Aaryan has requested Shetty to delay the release of Singham Again by two weeks. The actor believes that a gap between the two releases could benefit both films. Here are more details on this.
Aaryan requests Shetty for a 2-week gap
According to a source quoted by Times Now, Aaryan called Shetty to discuss the potential box office clash. The actor reportedly requested Shetty to postpone Singham Again's release to November 15, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 would be released as scheduled on November 1. Aaryan believes that this two-week gap could ensure a good opening for both films and prevent any negative impact on their collections.
Shetty, Devgn may consider Aaryan's request
The source further revealed that Shetty has heard Aaryan's request and promised to get back to him. Meanwhile, a report by Bollywood Hungama suggests that Shetty and Devgn might consider delaying Singham Again by two weeks. However, the final decision is still under discussion. The Singham Again team is reportedly considering a solo release on November 15, too, to avoid a clash with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
