Varun Dhawan on box office clash with Kantara Chapter 1

Talking about the clash of two films, recently Varun Dhawan said that both films are different and will do "big business".

"... And Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra is a very big date, two films can really do big business, and they are very different films. I don't know what is the best time (to release a film), I would love to come on a date where no film comes on..."

"Also, how much can you delay it? So, unless you are this very big film, which is made at a budget of ₹200-300 crores, you can't. We can't dictate terms or we can't find any place. Whatever our distributors felt, Karan (Johar) sir felt, they chose that date. And as actors we are doing our best (to promote the film)," Dhawan told PTI in an interview.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari was initially scheduled to release earlier this year, in April. However, it was pushed to a later date due to the director's health.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is directed by Shashank Khaitan. The film also stars Manish Paul and Akshay Oberoi.
