Anees Bazmee's film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was released on the occasion of Diwali. The film clashed with Rohit Shetty's Singham Again. Despite the clash at the box office, both the films are performing very well. Meanwhile, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 producer Bhushan Kumar recently shared that efforts were made to avoid clash with Singham again at the box office.
Bhushan Kumar said this
Bhushan Kumar said in his recent interview, “A franchise holds a lot of value, and we both were aware of that. It's not that we didn't try to avoid clashes, but we each had certain commitments that made it difficult. For example, there are pre-commitments with OTT platforms, and they don't allow rescheduling. We had that majorly, and they had a similar situation”.
'Both of us had no option'- Bhushan Kumar
Bhushan Kumar further explained that creative considerations again prompted Singham to stick to a Diwali release. The producer shared, "Also, they had a creative compulsion. The subject of the film was Ramayan so they definitely wanted to come on Diwali. So, both of us had no choice. Though we met and discussed if we could avoid the clash, we both tried but due to these terms we could not avoid the clash. Now, the losses that a clash brings, both of us have to bear that, but I am happy that both the films are doing well". Bhushan admitted that the downside of a clash is the distribution of business, especially during a festival season. However, he added that the strong opening weekend of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has made the film safe.
