He said, “Fortunately or unfortunately, Vashu (Bhagnani) is a very dear friend. It (Maidaan) happens to release on the same day as his film (Bade Miyan Chote Miyan) is releasing. Jackky (Bhagnani) did call me up and ask, 'Uncle, why are you releasing your film on this day'. I said, 'Let destiny plays its own part. I also wanted to cash on this holiday period. I am sure your film also will do well. There are times when films have released on the same day and they have done well."
