And now, after four years, the rumoured ex-couple Janhvi and Ishaan are set up for a box office clash as their films Mili, a survival drama headlined by Kapoor, and Phone Bhoot, a horror-comedy co-starring Katrina Kaif and Siddhant Chaturvedi, are releasing on Friday, November 4.

In a recent interview, the Mili star talked about this box-office clash revealing what she thinks about Ishaan's film Phone Bhoot. Talking to News18, she said, "I’ve seen the trailer and I think it looks like a lot of fun. We had spoken briefly when he was about to sign the film. I know a little bit about it, and it sounds like a very exciting premise."

On her equation with Ishaan, she added, "He messaged me recently wishing me luck for Mili and I wished him back saying, ‘Right back at you!’ I think there was an undercurrent of competitiveness. I’m just kidding! We really wish the best for each other dil se. We started out together. A part of us will always root for each other."READ | Phone Bhoot star Ishaan Khatter reveals why he has been selective in choosing his films | Exclusive
