New Delhi: Two of Anurag Kashyap’s films Aiyyaa and Chittagong are releasing on the same day. The filmmaker insists that the clash was not intentional, but he is confident it will not affect the business of the films. “Aiyyaa and Chittagong releases were not intentional. It just happened. Chittagong was due to release on 12 October and Aiyyaa was moved due to other things,” Kashyap said in New Delhi on Monday.

But it was known that both are different films and they have locked the quite a good number of screens for themselves. So it would not affect,” he added. Kashyap is known to bring new wave cinema with critically acclaimed films like Dev D, Gulaal and Gangs of Wasseypur Part 1 and Part 2. Most were small-budget ventures, but Kashyap says he hasn’t suffered losses so far. “We work backwards. We budget our films keeping in mind the worst that they might witness. So we don’t really lose money. We either break even or make profits,” he said. “Before …Wasseypur, our films were making minor profits but after it released tables have turned. And now we have Aiyyaa, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana coming out together, so lets see where we go from here, but the thing is we will continue working in the same way,” he added. IANS
