While the industry gears up for an epic clash, what’s worth noting is that this will be the 3rd time that Bollywood’s Desi Boys’ films will be released on the same day.
Back in 2018, Kumar’s Gold and Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate were released in cinemas on I-Day. A year later in 2019, their Mission Mangal and Batla House clashed with each other and now 5 years later, they will again have a face-off with Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa.
Moreover, Akshay has been consistent in the past few years when it comes to coming on Aug 15 weekend. In 2022, his Raksha Bandhan was also released on Aug 11 which was also the Rakhi holiday. This time, it clashed with Aamir Khan‘s much-awaited film Laal Singh Chaddha. In 2023, there was a clash in the same period between OMG 2 and Sunny Deol-led Gadar 2.
