Box office clashes in Bollywood are nothing new now. Two biggies can release on the same day and do well at the box office. However, we cannot ignore that it affects the collection of both films because the screens get distributed.
This year, we have already seen many box office clashes and in the coming months, there are more clashes that are going to take place. But well, one box office clash of 2021 is already making it to headlines.
This morning Ajay Devgn announced that he will be seen in the Hindi remake of Kaithi which is slated to release on 12th February 2021. He tweeted, “Yes, I’m doing the Hindi remake of the Tamil film Kaithi. Releases on February 12, 2021 Folded hands @RelianceEnt @DreamWarriorpic @ADFFilms @Shibasishsarkar #SRPrakashbabu @prabhu_sr @Meena_Iyer.”
Now interestingly on the same day, there are two more films slated to hit the screens. Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, and Dhanush starrer Atrangi Re will be hitting the screens during the Valentine’s Day weekend which is 12th February 2021.
Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi’s untitled film, which is being produced by Karan Johar and will be directed by Shakun Batra, is also slated to release on 12th February 2021. Karan Johar shares a great rapport with Ajay and Akshay, so, it won’t be surprising if he decides to change the release date of his movie to avoid the clash.
It will be interesting to see if this box office clash will take place or it will be avoided. Let’s wait and watch.

Man pleads not guilty to murder of BBC presenter's family
A 26-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering the wife and two daughters of BBC sports commentator John Hunt in a crossbow and knife attack.
Kyle Clifford, who also faces charges of rape, appeared via video link at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday.
Clifford, arrested in July after a manhunt, is charged with three counts of murder, one count each of rape and false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons – a 10-inch knife and a crossbow.
During the hearing, Clifford denied all the charges except for the rape charge, which was added to the indictment at the session.
He is expected to enter a plea for that charge at a later date.
The victims were Carol Hunt, 61, wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28.
An earlier hearing revealed that Louise had been found tied up and that both she and her sister had been shot with a crossbow, while their mother had been stabbed with a knife.
The fatal attack occurred at the family’s home in Bushey, a commuter town near Watford, northwest of London.
