John Abraham "Satyameva Jayate" and Akshay Kumar's "Gold" will face-off at the box office this Independence Day but the "Madras Cafe" star says the love the duo shares would stay the same.
While John will be back on screen after his recent hit "Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran" with director Milap Zaveri's thriller "Satyameva Jayate", Akshay will be seen in Reema Kagti's sports drama "Gold".
When asked about the clash, John told reporters, "Akshay is an actor in 'Gold' and I am an actor in 'Satyameva Jayate'. So that (the release of films) is a producer decision, between Excel Entertainment and T Series.
"Akshay is my senior, I love him and have always wished the best for him. I am sure he will also want the same for me."
He, however, added, "But, it's too early to talk about our chances of winning a National Award. We are not overconfident. We think we will deserve whatever the jury decides for our film but at the same time I think people loved the film and that is important for us."
