Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar – Ajay Devgn have locked horns at box office. Their movies Entertainment and Singham Returns are all set to battle it out. But this tiff between the two actors has affected Sajid-Farhad who debut as directors with ‘Entertainment’ and have written ‘Singham Returns’. Well Entertainment released this Fridaya and has already minted around Rs.20 crores, while the Singham Returns releases next Friday.
As per sources, brothers Sajid-Farhad got the shock of their lives when they heard that the producers of Singham Returns had booked all the single screens across India, limiting Entertainment to a one-week run in single screen theatres. Sajid said, “Dono films hamare bachche hain. Lekin dono mein se ek laadla hai which is naturally Entertainment. It’s our own baby. We have just given birth to ‘Singham Returns’, Rohit bhaiyya has clothed, fed and brought it up. In ‘Entertainment’, we have done everything from giving birth to clothing and feeding the baby. We just heard the news of the limited run of Entertainment and don’t know how true it is or how to react. We don’t know the full facts as yet. It’s unfortunate that this has happened. Though now, we have to think commercially also.”
Sajid and Farhad have tried to sort it out? “We don’t know… we don’t get into all that at all. The commercial aspect is handled by others. It’s all between the big people to sort out… Farhad and I just want both the films to work as both are our babies and people connected to both the films are all very dear to us.”
Akshay Kumar – Ajay Devgnwill be also clashing on October 7 when their movies Action Jackson and Shaukeen releases.
