Mission Mangal has been directed by Jagan Shakti and it has been produced by Fox Star Studios. The film will clash with John Abraham's Batla House, which is also slated to release on August 15 this year. This is not the first time that Akshay Kumar and John Abraham's films will clash at the box office. Last year, Akshay Kumar's sports drama Gold and John Abraham's thriller Satyameva Jayate clashed at the box office. Both the films were Independence Day releases.
