Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat producer Anshul Garg has opened up his film clashing at the box office with Thamma, adding that he knew "we would get fewer screens." Speaking with News 18, Anshul revealed that he knew about it as Dinesh Vijay's Maddock Films "is a very big company."

Anshul said that even though Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat got fewer screens it didn't impact them. "Even if we look at the box offices for Diwali in the last few years, last year also Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa clashed and they earned around ₹70 crore each. I knew that we would get fewer screens. I knew it because Maddock Films (Production house owned by Dinesh Vijay) is a very big company and they’ve produced such big films and PVR is distributing their film," he said.

“But the kind of capacity we needed, I think it was sufficient for us, and it actually worked for us. Since we had fewer screenings, we saw housefull. Eventually, we got the shows also because the screen count share started from 70-30 but now it has come to 45-55 ratio. I think it hasn’t impacted us a lot. People anyway visit theatres to watch movies during this festive time. So if one has to travel 2 KMs extra to watch my movie, they’ll do it," he added.
