Mahesh Babu and All Arjun are going to take box-office battle to a new level. Come Sankranthi, we will see both the top stars competing with each other with their respective films on the same day.
In a major turn of events, the makers of Allu Arjun and Trivikram’s “Ala Vaikunthapuramlo” and Mahesh Babu and Anil Ravipudi’s “Sarileru Neekevvaru” have unveiled the release date posters. Both posters carried Jan 12, 2020 as the release date.
GreatAndhra.com was the first to inform that “Ala Vaikunthapuramalo” will be hitting the screens on Jan 12, 2020.
Confirming the date, the producers have announced this date officially on Saturday evening. With two hours, Mahesh Babu tweeted the poster of “Sarileru Neekevvaru” confirming Jan 12 as its release date.
He even declared that this Sankranthi will be his biggest and most special release.
Why these two biggies are competing with each other directly? Why can’t they space out a release or maintain at least a day’s gap?
There is a reason. Rajinikanth’s “Darbar” is releasing on 10th January. Mahesh Babu had seen bad results with his previous films when they got released on Jan 10.
So he is keen on getting on 11th or 12th as the release date. Finally, he seems to have opted 12th. Moreover, the real festival mood begins on Jan 12th.
But if they premiere on the same day in the USA, distributors will suffer collections. So, they may force the makers to change the date at the last minute.
Let's hope that better sense prevails.
