Satish Kaushik may have helped out Nagesh Kukunoor with his upcoming film, Lakshmi, but now the former is probably regretting the same. Latest news has it that Kaushik&rsquo;s directorial venture, Gang of Ghosts, and Kukunoor&rsquo;s film, 'Lakshmi', are slated to release on the same date: March 21.

Over two years ago, 'Lakshmi' faced a roadblock when its producer backed out of the project and the project was stalled due to a financial crunch. This was when Kukunoor approached Kaushik to help him out with the project. Kaushik recollects how he had a New Delhi-based company &mdash; of which he is a director &mdash; come on board as the producer. &ldquo;I even roped in Jayantilal Gada as the presenter,&rdquo; says Kaushik, who plays a grey character in the film.
He adds that releasing 'Lakshmi' on the same day was uncalled for as it clashes with his film. &ldquo;It could have been averted, but now that 'Lakhsmi' finally has a release date, I will just have to go with it. To add to it, both films have got an A certificate,&rdquo; says Kaushik.
While 'Gang of Ghosts' is a horror comedy starring Sharman Joshi, Mahie Gill, Meera Chopra, Kukunoor&rsquo;s film deals with the subject of human trafficking and stars Monali Thakur, Ram Kapoor, Shefali Shah and Kaushik.
A source says that Kaushik doesn&rsquo;t want 'Lakshmi' to be pushed back yet again as the film has been stuck for a while now despite an impressive run in the festival circuit. It may be pointed out here that Kukunoor&rsquo;s earlier film, 'Hausla', is yet to see the light of day.
