CAT FIGHT Between Katrina Kaif & Priyanka Chopra
- 8 years ago
This October, Bollywood's leading ladies will clash at the box office with Priyanka Chopra's "Mary Kom" and Katrina Kaif's "Bang Bang" and "Phantom" releasing on the same day.
Kaif's "Bang Bang" with Hrithik Roshan and "Phantom" with Saif Ali Khan had been allotted the 2 October release date long ago. Recently, Sanjay Leela Bhansali produced "Mary Kom" too announced the same date, leaving trade pundits quite shocked.
The three films are targeting the audience during the Gandhi Jayanti holiday. But since the films are big banner productions, their box office clash would ensure definite division in audiences and possible tensions within the industry circuits, as witnessed during the infamous "Jab Tak Hain Jaan" and "Son of Sardar" clash in 2012.
However, there is a strong possibility that the films' makers might consider a date shift since it's impossible to procure the required amount of screens for their films if released on the same date,
