While Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is trending well at the box office, it is also facing competition from Vicky Kaushal’s film Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship. The actor is seen in the horror genre for the first time and people are liking him as well. Earlier it was said that Vicky Kaushal had changed the release date of his film to avoid a clash with Ayushmann’s Bala. However, the two stars came face to face with their films on February 21st.
Talking about the clash Vicky Kaushal said, "I think mera aur Ayushmann ka dhaga jud gaya hai. From Koffee With Karan to hosting award shows together to our films releasing on the same date. National award also we received at the same time. So we are somehow connected. In reality, the practical thing is that it is quite impossible to get a solo release. Bollywood makes more films than the number of Friday's in a year. So it is difficult to get a solo release. Clashes are bound to happen.”
