Ajay Devgn might be coronated as the King of clashes. The actor, who has been enjoying good word of mouth with his latest release, Shaitaan, is gearing up for a huge clash with Akshay Kumar on Eid with his film Maidaan, where he will take on Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. While the battle seems to be very interesting, this will not be the first time Ajay will lock horns with another superstar.
Recently, he opened up about the clash and mentioned that he wishes for both films to do well. In fact, last year, Gadar 2 and OMG 2’s clash proved that two good films can survive. In fact, Ajay’s clashing history also proves the same.
In the last 15 years, the actor has faced a lot of clashes, and the results have been surprising. While he definitely leads the scorecard, there have been clashes where he won despite the films not working in his favor. The only strange clash he faced in the last 25 years was when Baadshaho clashed with Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar’s Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.
