Ram Gopal Varma's spooky thriller ``Phoonk 2`` will compete with ``Paathshala'' this week and the filmmaker says it has to be seen whether audiences choose Shahid Kapoor-Ayesha Takia or his film's crow and a witchy old lady. Both the films have hit the screens Friday. ``In their film they have Shahid and in our film we have a crow. Heroine in their film is Ayesha Takia and we have a witchy old lady. We will see which couple audience like the most,'' Varma told reporters at FAME cinema Thursday. Asked to clarify whether he is comparing Shahid, Ayesha with a crow and a witchy old lady, he said: ``I am saying that only. Shahid is the crow and the witchy old lady is Ayesha Takia and let people decide which couple they want to see more.'' Directed by Milind Ukey, ``Paathshala'' tries to answer questions related to the sanctity of today's education system. It sheds light on the shortcomings schools where basic teaching ethics seem to have taken a back seat. Debutant director Milind Gadagkar's ``Phoonk 2'' is a sequel to ``Phoonk'', which was directed by Ram Gopal Varma. The cast remains the same.
