If Hollywood can do it, so can we: Hrithik Roshan on Kaabil-Raees clash!

Kaabil has crossed the 90-crore mark and Hrithik Roshan is very happy. In fact, post release too, he and Yami Gautam have been visiting various cities, including the City of Joy, to promote their film. But the actor feels that it would have done better business had it not clashed with Raees. He adds that it would be even better if filmmakers planned their releases to make sure clashes didn’t happen. “It is easy to plan out the releases like Hollywood does. We have six to seven big films that come every year and 365 days in a year. It is very simple for two big films not to clash. We have the same calendar as Hollywood. If they can do it, so can we. The Lord Of The Rings will not clash with Harry Potter. It never happens.”

Although the box office collection of the SRK-starrer Raees has gone ahead, Hrithik thinks each film should be compared in isolation. “Profit or loss is decided according to the budget of the film. You know how my father (Rakesh Roshan) works. He has made the film in Rs.40 crore. So after it crossed Rs.80 crore, it was already in profit. That is how you compare a film in isolation.”
