Amar Kaushik breaks silence on Thamma’s box-office clash with ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’

MUMBAI: Filmmaker Amar Kaushik has addressed the much-talked-about box-office clash between his latest release, “Thamma,” and Ek “Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.”

As both films hit theatres on October 21, coinciding with Diwali, Kaushik shared his perspective on the competition, calling it a natural part of the industry and emphasizing that every film finds its own audience. In an exclusive interview with IANS, the director explained that when good films receive appreciation, it’s ultimately a victory for everyone in the industry. There’s no real competition, he added, as filmmakers are all part of the same creative family working toward a common goal — delivering meaningful cinema to audiences.

Amar Kaushik shared, “I think it’s wonderful. When good films get appreciation, it’s a win for everyone. There’s no competition — we’re all part of the same industry, like one big family. We all wish success for each other. Negativity only harms, while mutual respect and admiration help us grow. Every good actor and filmmaker adds value to the industry. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing artists — talented and humble human beings.”
