After
the
success
of
Parmanu,
John
Abraham
is
back
with
Satyameva
Jayate,
which
is
clashing
with
Akshay
Kumar's
Gold
on
15
August.
In
a
recent
interview
to
a
leading
news
agency,
John
revealed
why
he
chose
to
release
Satyameva
Jayate
on
the
Independence
day
weekend.
The
actor
said,
"We
chose
August
15
as
release
date
of
this
film
because
it's
a
very
commercial
date
and
by
releasing
your
film
on
that
day,
you
are
able
to
make
good
money
through
your
film."
He
added,
"If
we
had
a
solo
release
of
this
film
in
the
next
week
of
Independence
Day
then
also
we
would
not
be
able
to
do
that
much
business
which
we
will
be
able
to
do
on
Independence
Day
with
Gold
so,
it
makes
more
sense
to
release
it
on
a
holiday."
When
asked
about
Akshay
Kumar's
Gold,
John
said
that
there
is
enough
space
for
two
films
to
release
together,
"I
think
there
is
enough
space
for
two
big
films
on
a
holiday.
It's
not
competing.
We
are
complementing
each
other.
We
would
love
if
people
go
and
see
Satyameva
Jayate
and
we
would
be
absolutely
happy
if
people
go
and
see
Gold."
Revealing
more
about
Satyameva
Jayate,
John
said,
''I
think
it's
meant
to
entertain
the
audience.
It's
a
very
entertaining
film.
It
shows
harsh
realities
like
corruption
and
women
molestation
so,
my
character
and
Manoj
Bajpayee's
character
address
these
situations
but
in
different
ways."
On
a
related
note,
when
Akshay
Kumar
was
asked
about
the
clash
by
a
leading
daily,
he
had
said,
"John
is
my
friend.
In
the
industry,
we
all
are
friends.
I
have
learnt
that
we
can
come
together
on
any
date.
We
all
are
friends
(laughs).
It
is
true
that
he
is
my
friend
and
I
have
learned
that
anyone
can
release
their
film
with
other
actor's
film.
Next
time,
I
will
also
do
the
same."
Coming
back
to
Satyameva
Jayate,
apart
from
John
Abraham,
the
movie
also
features
Manoj
Bajpayee,
Amruta
Khanvilkar
and
Aisha
Sharma
in
important
roles.
