Interestingly, Akshay Kumar will once again clash with his buddy John Abraham on the big screen. This year, on Independence Day, their films Gold and Satyameva Jayate released. So, now, the friends and Desi Boyz colleagues are all set to clash at the box office as Mission Mangal will face off with John’s Batla House. Both the films are based on true stories. Mission Mangal will focus on the stories the women responsible for the success of Mangalyaan mission. It is being helmed by Jagan Shakti.
Batla House, on the other hand, will revolved around Sanjeev Kumar Yadav as the one who spearheaded the Batla House encounter. It is a story about the encounter that happened in Delhi between the police officials and the terrorist group, Indian Mujahideen. As the tagline suggests 'The story of India's Most Decorated/Controversial Cop', the case was about this one man who has had 70 encounters, a record 22 convictions from 30 cases and nine Gallantry Awards.
“95 mins that took 8yrs to be resolved and changed his life forever.”

This will be the second time in a row that Akshay's film will clash with John at the Box Office. This year, Akshay's sports-drama 'Gold' and later's 'Satyamev Jayate' clashed against each other on the Independence Day. Rajkummar Rao's 'Made in China'is another film that is coming out on Independence Day 2019.
