Actor Shaad Randhawa to star in two rival films releasing on the same day

Actor Shaad Randhawa will appear in two different movies that open in cinemas on the same day, marking a first in his twenty-year career. He plays a part in Sooraj Barjatya's family drama Yeh Prem Mol Liya, which stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari. At the same time, he also holds an important part in the action film Gunmaaster G9, bringing him back on screen with Emraan Hashmi after previous collaborations in Awarapan and Awarapan 2. Fans initially thought Randhawa was merely visiting the sets when he posted a photo last month with Hashmi and director Aditya Datt alongside a playful caption asking if he should join the project. A source later confirmed that he was actually brought on board by the makers for a real part. The two competing films offer very different styles, as Yeh Prem Mol Liya is a clean family movie while Gunmaaster G9 is an action-packed musical. Meanwhile, the makers of Gunmaaster G9 scheduled their trailer release for November 11 with a grand launch at a multiplex in Pune. The promotional video runs for two minutes and forty seconds and holds an 'A' certification from the Central Board of Film Certification.

Context

Box office clashes between major Hindi film releases are common during holiday periods or busy theatrical windows. Actors appearing in multiple films within the same industry often build long-term working relationships with specific directors and co-stars across different genres.
