Will Katrina Kaif v/s Katrina Kaif be a threat for Sajid Nadiadwala?

Hundreds of Bollywood films are made and released every year. Not many enjoy a single release; there are often two or three films releasing on the same date. However, something like this might happen for the first time in the history of Indian cinema. Two films, the Sajid Nadiadwala produced Phantom and the Hrithik Roshan starrer Bang Bang are allegedly said to hit the theatres on the same date, which is 2^nd October this year. Both the films will be having actress Katrina Kaif playing the lead role. While Katrina will play a secret agent along with Saif Ali Khan in Phantom, she will play Hrithik Rohan’s love interest in Bang Bang. It has never happened before that two different films with the same lead have released on the same day.

Giving details about the same a source said, “Director Kabir Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala finished the first schedule of the film a few weeks ago and since then, they have been looking for the perfect date for the film’s release. Sajid is adamant about releasing the film on this day as it falls on the first day of the longest weekend of the year. October 2 marks Gandhi Jayanti on a Thursday; the next day is Dusshera, followed by the weekend and Eid on Monday. An official announcement is yet to be made but if things fall in place, October 2 will be the release date. A lot of filmmakers are eyeing this date. For instance, the makers of Bang Bang are yet to start shooting their film, but they have already declared October 2 as their release date. Now if both these films end up releasing on the same day, they will invariably eat into each other’s business. Moreover, Katrina Kaif, the leading lady in both the films, will have a tough time promoting it.”

So, will Katrina Kaif v/s Katrina Kaif be a threat for Sajid Nadiadwala? Well, we will have to just wait and watch!
