Speaking about the big clash, an insider informed a leading daily, "Neeraj Pandey is very much aware that Akshay's ‘Pad Man’ is releasing on January 26. Neeraj still went ahead with the release of 'Aiyaary'. Why? Because the two have fallen out over financial issues! Their proposed upcoming film together 'Crack' which was to be made and released on Independence Day has also been shelved."

When the same was asked to Akshay at an event, he said, there is no such issue regarding the clash. The two films are completely different and have got enough screens all across the country, so it doesn’t affect him.
