His Shah Rukh Khan starrer "Raees" saw a big box office clash with Hrithik Roshan's "Kaabil" on January 25 with both films garnering positive response from the audience.
When asked Rahul if he will see "Kaabil", Rahul told PTI in an exclusive interview, "Where is the time to see the film? I am busy with 'Raees'. Whatever little time I have I will see 'Raees' in theatres to understand the reaction of audience. I have not enjoyed that bit."
The "Parzania" helmer wasn't perplexed about the clash with "Kaabil".
"For me it was like I want to make a film the way I want to. I have to be honest and loyal to my job. Also the release date is not in my hands. I was not looking at at it (referring to clash). It doesn't matter who competes with which film."
