Akshay
Kumar-Kriti
Sanon's
much
awaited
action
entertainer
Bachchhan
Paandey
is
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
this
Friday
(March
18).
A
week
later,
SS
Rajamouli's
magnum
opus
RRR
featuring
Junior
NTR,
Ram
Charan
and
Alia
Bhatt
will
be
releasing
in
cinema
halls.
The
film
also
stars
Ajay
Devgn
in
a
cameo.
Recently,
in
a
chat
with
News18,
Akshay
and
Kriti
were
asked
whether
they
think
if
RRR
will
affect
the
box
office
collection
of
their
film.
While
Kriti
played
safe
by
saying
that
she
doesn't
understand
box
office,
her
co-star
Akshay
admitted
that
RRR
might
impact
Bachchhan
Paandey's
performance
at
the
box
office.
The
superstar
said
that
since
the
COVID-19
pandemic
delayed
many
film
releases,
it's
natural
for
movies
to
release
one
after
the
other.
Akshay
went
on
to
SS
Rajamouli's
film
might
impact
his
movie
by
30-40
per
cent.
Calling
it
unfortunate,
he
said
that
there's
no
option
but
to
deal
with
it.
News18
quoted
Akshay
as
saying,
"See,
because
of
this
pandemic,
lots
of
movies
are
going
to
come
one
on
top
of
the
other.
To
say
at
the
moment
impact,
yes
it
obviously,
it
is
going
to
impact.
Each
movie
will
impact
each
other.
Everything,
the
businesses
are
going
to
go
down
by
30
to
40
per
cent.
It
is
a
very
unfortunate
thing,
but
you
will
have
to
deal
with
it."
The
Khiladi
Kumar
said
that
even
when
cinema
halls
operated
at
50
per
cent
occupany,
films
were
impacted
but
the
industry
still
managed
to
survive.
Meanwhile,
going
by
the
latest
buzz,
it
looks
like
Akshay
Kumar's
Bachchhan
Paandey
will
also
be
facing
some
stiff
competition
from
Vivek
Agnihotri's
latest
release
The
Kashmir
Files
which
is
having
a
smashing
run
at
the
box
office.
The
latter
has
taken
the
nation
by
storm
and
has
already
shattered
some
box
office
records
previously
held
by
some
Bollywood
biggies.
