'Ek Tha Tiger' won't affect '...Wasseypur Part II': Reema Sen

"Gangs Of Wasseypur Part II" is releasing a week before Salman Khan-starrer "Ek Tha Tiger", but actress Reema Sen is positive about the real life gang war drama's box office performance.

"I am sure it will affect a little. But there are films like 'Shaitan' and 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' doing well. I think at the end of the day, the script matters," she said.
