Talking about his film, Aamir Khan told IE, ¡°I remember when KGF 2 was about to release, there was a lot of excitement among the Hindi audience, amongst my own friends.¡±

¡°Laal Singh Chaddha was supposed to release on that day. But fortunately for us, Red Chillies was taking a little time on the VFX so we got saved! Otherwise, we would have come with KGF 2,¡± the PK actor said.

While it did avert a clash with Yash's KGF2, Aamir Khan's movie could not avert a clash with Akshay Kumar's upcoming film Raksha Bandhan, which also releases on August 11, 2022. Raksha Bandhan is an upcoming comedy-drama directed by Aanand L. Rai.

In an earlier interview Akshay Kumar was questioned about Raksha Bandhan clashing with Laal Singh Chaddha, to which the 54-year-old actor responded saying, "It's not a clash. It's about good movies coming together. And, it's a big day. Due to Covid-19, many films did not release and some are still waiting to get a release date. So, it's natural more films will release together. I hope both films have good run."
