Now only 8 days are left for the release of Ajay Devgan‘s ‘Singham Again‘ and Kartik Aryan’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3‘. The biggest clash of the year 2024 is going to happen at the box office on 1st November on the occasion of Diwali. Both the films have been submitted to the Censor Board for clearance. Meanwhile, there is a war going on among the makers for more and more screens in theatres. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ makers T-Series have accused Rohit Shetty and the makers of ‘Singham Again’ of inappropriate behavior and have approached the Competition Commission of India (CCI). Battle of screens is also because the film which gets more screens is likely to earn more in the initial days. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ has been directed by Anees Bazmee. Whereas it is being produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Murani Khetani under the banner of T-Series. On the other hand, ‘Singham Again’, directed by Rohit Shetty, is being co-produced by Rohit, Ajay Devgan and Jyoti Deshpande.
T-Series wants both to get 50-50% screens
T-Series has filed a petition with CCI regarding screen sharing. It is alleged that the makers of ‘Singham Again’ want to grab as many screens as possible. But T-Series says that both ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ and ‘Singham Again’ should get 50-50% screens.
‘Singham Again’ on 60% seats in multiplex and single screen theatres?

This is how Ajay reached CCI in 2012, upset with Karan Johar.
The interesting thing is that this battle of screens is not new for Ajay Devgan. Ajay himself had reached the door of CCI in the same way in 2012. Then his film ‘Son of Sardar’ was clashing with Shahrukh Khan and Yash Chopra’s ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ on Diwali. Then Ajay Devgan had made serious allegations against Karan Johar and Shahrukh Khan. It was said that his film was not being given screens for release. Due to this, the relationship between the two superstars and Karan Johar also soured, which still persists to some extent.
Girish Johar said – This game of screens lasts only for the first two days
Now everyone’s eyes are on CCI’s decision. Filmmaker and trade analyst Girish Johar says, ‘Clash is nothing new in the industry. It depends on demand and supply. Some may use their strength to get more screens in the first two days, but after that comes the turn of content. If the other film is not performing well then any multiplex and theater automatically changes its shows.
What did CCI do on Ajay’s complaint in 2012?
Girish Johar further says, ‘For Ajay Devgan, it is like the cycle of life. Sometimes he too was accused of similar wrong practice. However, the last time this happened in 2012, CCI did not do anything. He said let the market decide. This time also he may not say anything in between, but many things will have to be taken into consideration, like the budget of ‘Singham Again’ is much higher than ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’.
Runtime of ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’
