Lust Stories is releasing on Netflix on June

releasing on the same day. On this clash, the
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director was asked
whether Lust Stories has the power and
lust to overpower Salman Khan's Race 3. On
this KJo said, "Of course not! Salman Khan is
on a different platform. He is the big master
of mainstream Indian cinema.

"Race 3 is going to be a humongous film. It
is a franchise film and it is a totally different
film with a totally different syntax. We are
not competing with him, he added.

Johar further stated how he doesn't have
the ability to fight with Salman, the hero of
Indian mass audience. He said, "We do not
have that ability to fight with Salman or
Race 3. We are actually very happy four
filmmakers, who have made a tiny little film
for which we are grateful to Netflix. We
don't have right to compete with the
magnitude of Salman. I probably will go to
watch Race 3 instead of Lust Stories on
June 15.

Zoya Akhtar earlier said in a statement,
"Viewers today demand freedom in how
they consume entertainment and since our
stories have evolved to reflect modern
sensibilities, so should the medium. It's very
exciting to make my Netflix debut with this
film, and I can't wait to see how a world
audience receives it.
