This Diwali 2024, the audience witnessed two epic clashes in theatres with both ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ and ‘Singham Again’ being released on the same day. Both the movies have a big star cast, have been made on a huge budget, and have been heavily promoted. In a recent interview, the producer of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ Bhushan Kumar revealed that both films tried to avoid this clash and had discussions about it.
While speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Bhushan revealed, “A franchise holds a lot of value, and we were both aware of that. It’s not that we didn’t try to avoid the clash, but we each had certain commitments that made it difficult. For instance, there are pre-commitments with OTT platforms, and they don’t allow rescheduling. We had that majboori, and they had a similar situation.”
She added, “Also, they had a creative compulsion. The theme of the film was Ramayan so they definitely wanted to come on Diwali. So, we both didn’t have a choice. Though we met and discussed whether we could avoid the clash, we both tried but due to these conditions we couldn’t avoid the clash. Now, the loss that a clash brings, we both have to bear that but I am happy that both the films are working well.”
