'U Me Aur Hum' set for clash with 'Krazzy 4'

'U Me Aur Hum' set for clash with 'Krazzy 4'



Ajay Devgan’s directorial debut is on a collision course with Rakesh Roshan’s home production.

A lull has taken over the theatres as the month of March (which sees lowest turnout at box-office due to the school and college exams) approaches. The lull will be broken by a tornado in April when Fridays would be crammed with Bollywood releases.

April 11 will see the release of two big films – ‘U Me Aur Hum’ and ‘Krazzy 4’.

U Me Aur Hum marks the return of Ajay Devgan and Kajol together as a pair after a long gap of eight years. The film is also Devgan’s directorial debut. All this, coupled with the film’s feelgood theme, has roused quite a curiosity about ‘U Me Aur Hum’.

And feeling the heat is Rakesh Roshan whose home production Krazy 4 has no big stars in main roles ( Arshad Warsi , Irrfan Khan , Suresh Menon, Rajpal Yadav and Juhi Chawla ) and is directed by a newcomer named Jaideep Raja Sen.

Clearly, ‘U Me Aur Hum’ has an upper hand over ‘Krazzy 4’.

In fact, reports have it that Roshan senior has got in touch with Devgan to discuss any possible way to avoid the clash between the two films. But Devgan couldn’t make any adjustment because the marketing and distribution plans have already been drawn for his film.

On the other hand, Roshan senior also cannot postpone his film even by a week because it would then get sandwiched between two big movies – ‘U Me Aur Hum’ (on April 11) and Yashraj Films Tashan (on April 25).

For the time being it appears that the clash between Devgan’s and Roshan’s films is inevitable.
