Rohit Shetty opens up on averting clash between ‘Simmba’ and Shah Rukh’s ‘Zero’

With several films releasing in a year, it is inevitable that some of them end up clashing at the box office. While it’s impossible to have a clear window for every single film, but when two big-banner films are about to clash then it affects everyone as so much is at stake. Same was the case when Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zero’ and Ranveer Singh’s ‘Simmba’ were about to release this Christmas.

Now the latest reports suggest that ‘Simmba’ and ‘Zero’ will be releasing a week apart thereby avoiding the clash. Rohit Shetty, the director of ‘Simmba’ recently opened up on how the makers of both the films averted the clash mutually. The filmmaker told IANS, “I think one week is enough and there is no competition. Earlier we were planning to come on the same day, but then we went into a discussion. We decided not to come together because that would affect numbers. It was a mutual decision. If the film does well in the first week, it will go on.”

Well, we are impressed by the decision of the makers of ‘Simmba’ and ‘Zero’ as this is how things should be handled mutually instead of trying to outdo each other. They are setting a very good example for others filmmakers to follow.
