Today's morning proved shocking to team Kaabil as Rakesh Roshan and Sanjay Gupta earlier were assured to get equal screens but the things changed and end up in 60-40 screens means 60 for Raees and 40 for Kaabil.

Rakesh Roshan, who is also producer of film says, “I wont comment upon any other film as that's not my territory. I will only talk about my film Kaabil. We are shocked, disappointed and terribly hurt! I had not expected this. I spoke to all my concerned exhibitors last week, showed them one hour of the film and requested them that we should go 50-50 screens and they agreed. All over the world from Dubai, UK, Australia and New Zealand they have given us 50-50 screens except in our industry. That's very hurtful to me and I feel betrayed because after talking to them they did this. With these clashes we have to avoid unfair play. Every producer feels my film is the best where he is concerned and where two films are coming if we avoid this and make both films 50-50 screens then it's better for the film industry."

"I always make films where I took the industry forward in a good way. I am pushing the audience with the same thought through my films. Everybody is capable of doing things in life and you should never lose. And I had thought the corporate bodies will take the industry ahead. But that is not the case. I am very hurt and if this is what they are going to do henceforth also, then I will quit the industry. I don't want to make films if this is the way they are behaving. If they change then I will change my mind otherwise I won't. Because tomorrow our collections are going to be low. This way I am straightaway losing 150 crore! Everybody from the producer, distributor, exhibitor and audience lose as they don't have so much money to spend on two films. It's not lose-lose situation for all. Going by today's 60-40 screen distribution, my collections will be lower tomorrow but God is with me. In my films I have always made the weak stronger. I make a weak person strong because I don't see anybody as weak. I have made different films like Karan Arjun, Koi Mil Gaya and Krissh where I show that the common man can rise above anything. I thought even our film industry will rise with the corporates coming in but now I am very shocked to know we have actually taken a backward step by succumbing to such pressures. The exhibitors are very powerful people and they had to set box office right. I am keeping my fingers crossed though I don't know what the results are going to be but as a producer who has given this film industry 50 years of my work, this practice is not correct," added by Rakesh ji.

While director Sanjay Gupta says, “It's extremely unfair and I am highly disappointed. If anybody wants to compete do it with good content, not through unfair means. This is not the spirit we would like to live in. I woke up to sheer joy and happiness today when I read the Kaabil reviews in the media but when I turned the page it was a nightmare! I was shocked at the number of shows we were assured but that's not the case!"
