Not many filmmakers would prefer scheduling their films' release against one by Subhash Ghai. But producer-director Saawan Kumar Tak has no such
apprehensions.
Saawan Kumar's "Saawan - the Love Season" has been scheduled for release April 6, the same day as the release of Mukta Arts' "Shaadi se Pehle".
"I was aware from the beginning that Mukta Arts' "Shaadi se Pehle" was scheduled for release on the same day, but my film has a niche audience of its own. I have no
cause for worry. I wish good luck to my colleague, Subhash Ghai," Saawan Kumar said.
Incidentally, this is the second time Saawan Kumar has scheduled his release against a Mukta Arts Film. Way back in 1993, his thriller "Khalnaika" coincided with the
release of Subhash Ghai's "Khalnayak".
Ghai subsequently accused him of cashing in on the popularity of his film, which generated a huge controversy.
