Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar's 2.0 takes cue from Baahubali 2!

Director S Shankar‘s another crown achievement ‘2.0‘, expects to collect Rs 20 crore in Telugu states, says trade Gurus.

No doubt, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar‘s starrer, will set the screens on fire with its massive, record breaking opening, but in Telugu states it is expected to do equally good.

On the condition of anonymity, a leading distributor revealed, “This is the biggest film of Rajinikanth and Shankar, together. This alone is a reason good enough to draw audiences to the theatres. Both Rajinikanth and Shankar have very big market in Telugu states. Both their previous films Sivaji and Enthiran did exceptionally well in Telugu at a time when there was hardly any market for dubbed Telugu films from Tamil (industry),”

A theatre owner from Hyderabad said, “Irrespective of when a Rajinikanth film releases, it’s sure to draw audiences. Enthiran did really well in Telugu as it was the first major science-fiction film of its time. Audiences lapped it up. The Shankar-Rajinikanth brand will draw family audiences and kids.”

“If such a big film doesn’t have a simultaneous release in both the languages, then it might miss out on making a big impact at the box office. What happens is that audiences end up watching the film in the other language out of sheer excitement. So many good Tamil films lost out on making an impact at the Telugu box-office due to a delayed release,” he said.
