Mohenjo Daro - starring Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde - is all set to clash with Akshay Kumar's Rustom at the Box Office on 12 August.
Clashes often affect the Box Office collections of the films. However, Mohenjo Daro director Ashutosh Gowariker has said that he expects both films to do well. During a recent media interaction in Mumbai, he said:
"Clashes keep happening in this industry. When two films release, of course the Box-Office collections get affected but since we have decided to release our film alongside Rustom, we have gone ahead with our instinct. Sholay and Jai Santoshi Maa released on same day and both films were super hits.
Likewise, Lagaan and Gadar released on same day and both emerged to be big hits. So when I look back at the history, I just wish both the films do very well at the Box Office."
After Airlift and Housefull 3, Akshay Kumar is looking to strike a Box Office hattrick of Rs 100 crore films with his thriller, Rutom.
