Both films are different: Santoshi on BO clash between ‘Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh’ and ‘Pathaan’

MUMBAI, Jan 12 (PTI): Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has said he isn’t worried about the box office clash between his upcoming feature “Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh” and Shah Rukh Khan-led “Pathaan” as both films are different from each other.
“Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh”, is a period film releasing on January 26, while “Pathaan”, which marks Shah Rukh’s return as a leading man after 2018’s “Zero”, will arrive in cinemas a day before.
At the trailer launch event of his film, “Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh”, Santoshi said his movie isn’t a song-dance entertainer and is hoping audiences will come to watch the film. He also wished luck to Shah Rukh for “Pathaan”.
“Ours is not a song and dance film, it is a very different film. I don’t worry about such things (box office clash). Both the films are very different in nature and each in its proper place. I am not worrying about who is in front of us, I’m only focusing on my film,” Santoshi told reporters here.
Praising Shah Rukh khan, the director said the superstar is one of the most hardworking and respected actors of the industry. “I have known him for years, he is a very good person. He puts a lot of effort in his films, and I send him good wishes for his film. Yash Raj Films is a very reputed banner and they are coming with a very ambitious film. They have a separate fan following and they will watch their film,” Santoshi added.
“Gandhi Godse-Ek Yudh” depicts the war of two extremely opposite ideologies between Mahatma Gandhi and Nathuram Godse.
