Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani has opened up about the struggles faced by his latest film 'Vedaa' following its release alongside 'Stree 2'. He believes the clash significantly affected its box office performance.

Released during Independence Day week, 'Vedaa' competed with major releases, including 'Stree 2' and 'Khel Khel Mein'. While Advani's film starred John Abraham and Sharvari, 'Stree 2' emerged victorious, earning nearly Rs 600 crore compared to 'Vedaa's Rs 26.75 crore.
