Akshay Kumar and John Abraham have been close friends for a really long time. They have done several movies including Desi Boyz, Housefull 2 and Garam Masala. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama about clashing with not one but two films and the business at the box office, John Abraham said, "First of all, I am an actor on the film and not the producer. But, if I speak at a capacity of a producer, then yes. Screens are going to be shared between the films. But saying that does a big day like August 15 has space for two big films? The answer is yes. Does it have space for three films? I don't know. I think it's a very big day and I would love to see Satyameva Jayate which is topical and very specific to that release date."

Earlier at the success party of Parmanu – The Story Of Pokhran, he was asked how he feels about the box office clash with his friend Akshay. “Akshay is an actor in Gold and I am an actor in Satyameva Jayate. That’s a producer’s decision. It is about Excel Entertainment and T-Series, so I have no say in that at all. As far as competing with Akshay is concerned, I want to make it clear that he is my senior in the industry. I love him and I have always wished the best for him and I am sure he will also want the best for me,” John said.

Written & Directed by Milap Zaveri, Satyameva Jayate is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Nikhil Advani (Emmay Entertainment). The movie features John Abraham & Manoj Bajpayee, Amruta Khanvilkar and Aisha Sharma in lead roles and is set for August 15 release.
