EXCLUSIVE: It is not unethical or illegal, We don't own the date - Hrithik on Kaabil's clash with SRK's Raees
If there is one clash that has grabbed immense eyeballs lately, then it is indeed between Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil and Shah Rukh Khan's Raees. The two films are all set to hit the screens on January 26, 2017. Both the stars are leaving no stone unturned in promoting their respective films.
While the makers of Raees will be releasing their new track Laila Main Laila featuring Sunny Leone tomorrow, the makers of Kaabil have unveiled the film's second trailer today and it has received a positive response too.
When the first trailer released, there were many who felt that it revealed too much. Ask Sanjay Gupta about it and they say, "It was an intentional thing. With the first trailer you want to tell people what the film is about. Everybody will take the decision based on the first trailer. You have to be honest and not mislead them. And it won't affect the audience perception. Everyone knows that the hero is blind and he is out there to take revenge. That is the USP of the film. We are not saying that this is a unique story that we haven't told before. It is how the film is made that makes the difference." 
Adds Hrithik, "It is important for the audience because they have lot of alternative choices. The trailer needs to make an impact and for that whatever needs to be done, is what we have put in the first trailer. There is a lot more in the film and that will surprise the audience."
Interestingly, Hrithik's blind act has won hearts and the audience is going gaga over his portrayal in the trailer. Quiz Hrithik if it was difficult to do the same and the actor admits, "Difficult or not, isn't the point. The point is, that it has to be done. Difficulty is not the question. There is a responsibility - social and to the film, and hence it had to be done nicely. It is not something that needs to be praised. It has to be mandatory and every actor should put in those efforts and put the logic and physics in place. That is our job."
Given that Kaabil is clashing with Raees, both the films are sure to get affected at the ticket window. Probe Sanjay Gupta on the clash and he says, "I know it may sound a little unbelievable but I have my blinkers on. The only thing on my horizon is Kaabil. With due respect to the other film, to me this film is everything. Kaabil is not a Bang Bang, Dhoom 2 or Krrish. It is not a big ticket film. It is a special film with a heart bigger than these films."
"And it is not our job to see what somebody else is doing. We have to focus on what we have in our hand and leave the rest to the audience. It is unfortunate and shouldn't have happened. But having said that, it is not illegal or unethical to come on the same date. We don't own the date. And they are friends and I wish them the best," states Hrithik.
Hrithik and Yami's chemistry in the movie is also being praised widely. Ask Duggu his experience of working with the actress and he gushes, "It was enlightening and enriching. What she brought to the film, became the core of it. She is extremely talented and she has something that no one else has. She has this uncorrupted old world charm and it is part of her. That has made the film what it has become."
