Speaking at the trailer launch of ‘Maidaan’, Devgn addressed this situation and said there are “certain obligations” because of which films release on the same day. He further said that there isn’t really ‘a clash’ between these films as they cater to different audiences.

We’re looking at it in the terms that there is a good big weekend, so both the films would perform well (at the box office),” he told the media
