Bhushan Kumar on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Singham Again clash: There’s no bitterness

This Diwali saw two powerhouse franchises, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, face off at the box office. Despite the simultaneous releases of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, T-Series Managing Director Bhushan Kumar has said that there is no bitterness between himself, Rohit Shetty, and lead star Ajay Devgn.
In an exclusive chat with India Today Digital, Bhushan Kumar shared, “We tried to avoid the clash as much as possible. I met with Ajay Ji, who also suggested we shift to prevent losses. Both sides attempted to adjust, but each had commitments. We had a commitment to the digital platform and hence we couldn’t shift. They also had commitments and their own concerns. I am very happy that both the films are working and doing business. And despite the clash, both films are getting the love.”
While the T-Series head acknowledged that a solo release would have been ideal, he maintained, “There’s no bitterness. We made a mutual decision after a healthy discussion, and I have strong relationships with Ajay Sir and Rohit. We’re collaborating on upcoming projects, so there’s no tension, though we both may have wished for solo releases.”
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit, and Singham Again, featuring Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Deepika Padukone have earned over Rs 100 crore within four days of their release.
