Hollywood actor Matt Damon starrer "The Martians" will clash with Bollywood's Akshay Kumar's "Singh Is Bling" when the films release in India on October 2, which is observed as Gandhi Jayanti in the country.
The space action adventure film is to release in India on the same day as the US.
Both the films will get a three-day long release window, given the fact that Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday.
"The Martian" is directed by Ridley Scott and is based on Andy Weir's 2011 novel of the same name. The film also features Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sean Bean, Sebastian Stan, Aksel Hennie, and Chiwetel Ejiofor in supporting roles.
Meanwhile, Prabhudheva directed "Singh Is Bling" is an action comedy, which also features Amy Jackson, Lara Dutta and Kay Kay Menon.
