John Abraham and Akshay Kumar are all set to have a box office clash this Independence Day as their respective films Satyameva Jayate and Gold are going to release on the same day. However, John feels that the two films will not compete but complement each other.
Although Satyameva Jayate is clashing with Gold, John is of the opinion that the holiday of August 15 is big enough for both the films to make money.
"We chose August 15 as release date of this film because it's a very commercial date and by releasing your film on that day, you are able to make good money through your film. If we had a solo release of this film in the next week of Independence Day then also we would not be able to do that much business which we will be able to do on Independence Day with Gold so, it makes more sense to release it on a holiday," John said during an event according to reports.
He also said that Gold and Satyameva Jayate will complement each other rather than compete against each other.
"I think there is enough space for two big films on a holiday. It's not competing. We are complementing each other. We would love if people go and see Satyameva Jayate and we would be absolutely happy if people go and see Gold," he added.
Earlier, there were reports that John and Akshay's friendship suffered a crack due to the box office clash. However, the actor's latest words suggest that everything is fine between them.
