‘Golmaal Again’ to not clash with Rajinikanth’s ‘2.O’ !

Earlier there were reports that Rohit Shetty's fourth instalment in the 'Golmaal' franchise, 'Golmaal Again', was all set to clash with Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's '2.O'. However, the filmmaker recently informed that the two films will now not clash at the Box Office.

Starring Ajay Devgn, Parineeti Chopra, Tabu, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade and Johnny Lever is all geared up for a Diwali release. There were reports that the makers might shift the date to avoid a clash with '2.O', however, Rohit informs that the two films will now release on separate dates.

Rohit said, "We were always planning a Diwali release. Initially, I was not sure if we would be able to finish work on 'Golmaal Again' in time. Luckily, '2.O' is not opening with us, so we might just do better business (than we'd expected)."

While the 'Golmaal Again' and '2.O' clash has been avoided, Aamir Khan's 'Secret Superstar' will still release on the same day as 'Golmaal Again'. Talking about the clash with 'Secret Superstar', Rohit said, "You pick any weekend, there will mostly always be two films releasing together. There are only 52 Fridays a year for 300-plus films. The idea of a box office clash is a recent creation. 'Lagaan' and 'Gadar' released on the same day in 2001. So did 'Dil' and 'Ghayal' (in 1990). They didn't have problems then, why would I have now?"

"We are not going to have sword fights outside Churchgate station over a date. It's not as big an issue as you are making it to be," said Rohit throwing light on the Box Office battles.
