What does Akshay have to say?
On being asked about the clash, Akshay said, "It's not about competition, it is a very big day, a big week, so all the films can come. Both the films can release on that day."
"Every film has the right to release whenever they want, and I am happy for them," he further said.
At his level, Akshay can definitely take the clash head-on.

List of films affected due to 'Padmavati'
Meanwhile, at least one movie, Neeraj Pandey's 'Aiyaari' starring Manoj Bajpayee, has been postponed from January 26 to February 9 to avoid clashing with Padmavat.
Luv Ranjan, director of 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', said he will do something similar: "I see no sense in clashing with Padmavat and harming the best release my film can get," he mused.
