At the Baahubali Press Conference, Karan Johar reveals that Two Big Khan /Kumar/Kapoor film cannot release on a single day due to lack of infrastructure.
At the Baahubali Press Conference, when Karan Johar was asked to comment about the monopoly created by Khan's by releasing their films during festivals, he said-
"I am into that phase of my life where in my only aim is to make good films with strong content. When one is ready with the subject of course one should block dates. What people don't realize is that there is a technicality and reason which makes us block the festive release dates because we are restricted by screen space and we are not able to absorb two strong releases in one phase. The cost of the films starring the superstar's are so high that a national holiday gives us an benefit. We are restricted by certain obstacles which make us zero down to a holiday release date and we put our power and energy into book that date. Having said that, if we can control our costs and every one including lead actors join hands to control the cost of films, we don't need to book the holidays. We can release at any time of the year if we make films with controlled budget. We won't need a Republic Day or Independence Day or EID or Diwali to release our films just like it used to happen in the 90's. There have been times when big films have released on same days like Dil and Ghayal , Lagaan and Gaddar and both films have done HUGE Business. I hope we have many more cinema halls which will help us release two big films at the same time but we can't do it alone, we need government support for the same. With improvement in infrastructure, not just the release size but also our content will get better."
Baahubali is all set to release on 10th July 2015.
