/> Next week's release No Problem could be a big problem for the other release Band Baaja Baraat. By now it's increasingly evident that two films particularly if they belong to the same genre do not stand a chance in hell of achieving a double success at the boxoffice.

For Diwali this year we had two comedies Gol Maal 2 and Action Replayy on display. One of them had to, and did, tank.

It therefore comes as no surprise to know that the next battle of the comedies between Yashraj Films' Band Baaja Baraat featuring Anushka Sharma with newbie Ranvir Singh and Anees Bazmi's star-studded comedy No Problem just might be stymied before it's too late.

Yashraj, however are unwilling to budge. They consider the second week of December lucky for their films.

Anees Bazmi on the other hand, doesn't believe in luck.

Says the hyper-active director (currently working round-the-clock shooting his film Ready in the daytime and editing No Problem in the night), "I don't believe in lucky dates. But I do believe in commitments. We had decided to release No Problem on 10 December long ago.

I have three releases next year (Thank You, It's My Life and Ready). So I needed to get No Problem out of the way this year. We worked at breakneck speed to finish No Problem and announced our release date months ago. It was only later that I heard Band Baja Baraat is coming on the same date. "

Anees admits he isn't happy with the clash. "It's never advisable to bring two big films on the same day. If anyone, then they should move because we locked in the date first. But I think Yashraj is superstitious about the second week of December because their Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi released during the same week in 2008 with the same heroine was a hit. "

Anees says he's beyond luck factors. "When my producer Vipul Shah decided to add an extra n in 'king' for Singh Is Kinng I told him please add one more 'n' if it helps the boxoffice. It's the product that matters. I know we've made a fabulously funny film in No Problem. I am sure Band Baaja Baraat is also a terrific film. If a clash is not avoided then I'll pray for both films. "

Will Yashraj blink first?

When contacted Yashraj's official spokesperson said, "No there is no postponement. Band Baaja Baaraat is coming with all the baaraati's (sic. ) on 10th Dec 2010. I am sure there is space for both of us. "
