"More importantly, it is not overconfidence. I have a lot of respect for every other film. I am confident that Nikkhil has made a very good film."
The actor was speaking at the trailer launch of 'Batla House' with the cast and crew of the film here. John said he shares a friendly equation with former co-star Akshay Kumar, who features in 'Mission Mangal', and that there is space for more than one film to release on the same date.
