Mumbai, Oct 15

Ajay Devgn and Karan Johar are gearing up for a clash as their upcoming movies 'Shivaay' and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' both are set to be released on the same day this Diwali.

Pinkvilla caught up with the 47-year-old actor and asked about the clash to which he replied that the audience would know which a better film is and "that will take away all the benefits."

"The audience gets divided. Eventually, what will happen is, we are not talking about the first day. It is a pre-Diwali day and we don't expect a very big number because people are busy," Ajay said.

"By the time you come to Monday, which is like the first day, audience will know which is a better film and that will take away all the benefits," he opined.

The promotions for 'Shivaay' and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' are going on in full-swing as both are set to hit the screens on October 28.

Ajay Devgn's 'Shivaay' also stars debutantes Erica Kaar and Sayesha Saigal.

Meanwhile, the release of KJo's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,' which stars Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, is facing trouble with the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association, following the ban on Pakistani artistes in the wake of the killing of 19 Indian soldiers in the Uri terror attack.
