Ajay on Shivaay vs ADHM

Now that the big clash between Sultan' and Raees' has been averted, 2016, which was previously touted as the year of clashes, has two more big ones.

Hrithik Roshan's Mohenjo Daro will release on the same day as Akshay Kumar's Rustom. Ajay Devgn's super-ambitious Shivaay will also take on Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil during the Diwali weekend.

Talking about the clash, Devgn has said he doesn't take clashes seriously and all his effort will go into giving his film the best possible release.

"I don't consider it to be a clash and I don't take such clashes seriously. Son of Sardaar has proved that. I think everybody has the right to release it whenever they want and you just have to work harder on your film. Whichever is the better film will work more at the box office"

The actor also said that it does upset him sometimes because he was the one who announced Shivaay' for Diwali, but added that he understands the business point-of-view of the other producer

"Yes and no. Yes, because it's a close-knit industry and whatever issues we have with each other we should sort it out amongst ourselves and not harm each other's work. And no, everybody wants a great release date so everybody has the right to choose any date for their film. It's a balance of both, I would say"

"If I take it personally, it will upset me but if I look at it from a business point of view, then I would say it's fair enough. You feel the person shouldn't have done it, but you accept it because he must have his reasons"

Asked if he would meet producer Karan Johar and discuss the dates of his films, Ajay said "I would not discuss with Karan. I have announced my release date earlier than him so I will just go ahead and release it in the best way possible. I will not even bother about what is coming with me or what is not coming with me"
