Two of the most highly awaited Bollywood films are facing off against each other at the box office next week. The 2024 Diwali Bollywood clash witnesses Rohit Shetty's Cop Universe film Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, clash with Anees Bazmees' horror-comedy film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.  The internet was buzzing with speculations that makers of any one of these big films would back out and announce a new release date. However, things are going the way it is, and as of now both the films will hit the theatres on Diwali, November 1. Now, as per the latest report, T-Series, the production giants bankrolling, are concerned about the Ajay Devgn-starrer due to their screen count. ‘Singham Again’: Did Akshay Kumar Confirm Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey Entry in Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe?

According to a report in The Indian Express, makers of Rohit Shetty's Singham Again approached PVR INOX, the biggest theatre chain in India and have reportedly secured 60% of shows. This has left the team of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in connection with the clash. It is a matter of concern as certain single-screen theatres have dedicated all shows to the Ajay Devgn starrer.
