Akshay Kumar and Aanand L Rai launched the trailer of their upcoming family drama, Raksha Bandhan, at an event in Delhi yesterday. The film is scheduled to be released in cinemas on 11th August 2022 (Raksha Bandhan Day). However, it's not a solo release and will face a direct clash with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor's Laal Singh Chaddha.While the hype around this clash is increasing on social media with fans supporting their favourite stars, Akshay Kumar has taken a mutual stand. When asked what his take on the box office clash between Raksha Bandhan and Laal Singh Chaddha is, Akshay replied, "It's not a clash. It's about good movies coming together. And it's a big day. Due to COVID-19, many films were not released and some are still waiting to get a release date. So, it's natural that more films will be released together. I hope both films have a good run." On the other hand, Aanand L. Rai gave a statement to India Today, saying, "It's a very good weekend. I was just telling somebody that it's not a weekend. It's a vacation as there are almost 5-7 days of holidays. It's a very long weekend and both films will definitely do well. It's the right space for two films to come. If not for us, somebody else would have released their film that day. We were only making sure three films didn't come on the same day. If that was the case, we would have avoided that. But, two films can definitely come that weekend."
