Kartik Aaryan On Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 & Singham Again Clash
In an interview with GQ India, Kartik shared that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was planned as a festive entertainer long before Singham Again announced its release. However, with both films eyeing the same date, the makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 approached Rohit Shetty’s team to request a delay.
He shared, “We genuinely requested them to push the release date. But they had their own internal issues, so it couldn’t happen.”
He added that going head-to-head with such a massive multi-starrer was a daunting challenge. “Even we didn’t expect Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to perform as well as it did against such a big competition,” Kartik admitted.
Ajay Devgn also commented on the clash during a separate interview. While expressing his dislike for box-office battles, Ajay noted that the theme of their film made it impossible to move away from the Diwali slot. “Clashes aren’t good for the industry, but given the festive connection of Singham Again, we couldn’t adjust the date,” he said.
Director Rohit Shetty also revealed that they had explored alternatives but ultimately stuck to Diwali as it perfectly aligned with the film’s narrative.
