Vishal Bhardwaj's much-awaited film Haidar, starring Shahid Kapoor releases October 2, during the longest weekend this year. Sidharth Anand's Bang Bang, starring Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif hits theatres the same day.
Now, both films look promising and expectations from both run sky-high. But we all know when two big films clash at the box-office, one usually walks away with the bigger slice of the pie. Since Bang Bang is a massy genre, we think it has an upper hand. However, Shahid believes both films will fare well. In fact, he wants Hrithik's film to do well.

In a media interaction, he told us, "We knew pehle se hi ki Bang Bang was releasing the same day as Haidar. I hope Bang Bang does really well, I really like Hrithik's work and it's looking really good. But I am very confident about my film... And I feel what Haidar is offering the audience, Bang Bang can't and vice versa. So there are two very distinct choices for people to make. Bang Bang is made at a very different budget from Haider. So I don't see them clashing in terms of offering the audience the same thing."

He further added, "It's a five-day weekend which, again, very rarely happens. A three-day weekend is enough to handle two big films... we have seen that in the past. And we have made Haidar on a strict budget. It won't take as much time as my other films for us to recover money. And I have no reason to worry because eventually people want to see good films."
