Box office clash
'Gustaakh Ishq' to clash with 'Tere Ishk Mein'
Gustaakh Ishq will be released on the same day as Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's dark romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein. This will create an interesting box office clash between two different interpretations of love, while one is gentle and poetic, the other is fiery and destructive. The film is produced by Stage5 Production, co-owned by Malhotra and his brother Dinesh Malhotra.
