Akshay Kumar and Mouni Roy starrer Gold is all set for its release on Independence Day. Gold will be facing a clash with John Abraham starrer Satyamev Jayate which also arrives on the same date. In one of his recent interviews, when John Abraham was quizzed about the clash on the box ofice, the actor said, "Akshay is my good friend. We get along really well and we wish best for each other… to avoid a clash between the two films is the production house's responsibility.”
During a special event of Gold, Akshay Kumar was informed about John Abraham's comment on the clash. When Akshay was asked to comment on the same, he replied saying, "John is my friend. In the industry, we all are friends. I have learnt that we can come together on any date. We all are friends (laughs).”
The actor was pushed again to comment on the clash by one of the mediapersons. On that, Akshay didn't think twice and ended up trolling the journalist.
