The filmmaker said, "I am relaxed because I feel that you will get what’s in your destiny. But one thing I know about myself is that if someone else had announced his/her release date before I did, I wouldn’t have come out with my film on the same day. We have to be professional."

Rakesh Roshan was then asked about his reaction when SRK announced the release of 'Raees'. He said, "Anybody will get disturbed. I was too. If it would have happened to him, even he would have got disturbed. I told him we both will lose money."

The filmmaker also reveals about his meeting with Shah Rukh Khan over the clash and said, "But he didn’t understand. I don’t know why. I told him that I am hearing good reports about your film, it can do a business of Rs 300 crore. I also told him that his contemporaries are Salman and Aamir who are making Rs 300 crores (each) with their films; compete with them, not Hrithik. Hrithik is junior to him. n front of me, he agreed to what I was saying. He said, ‘Yes sir, yes sir’. But he didn’t change the release date of Raees and is now coming out on the same day as Kaabil. I wish him good luck."

Here's wishing both the film, all the very best. May the best man win!
