Independence Day to witness high intense fight at the Box-Office. The competition for release dates has become increasingly frequent in recent times, reminiscent of the clash among four films during the Sankranti season. The upcoming summer season, particularly in April and May, is anticipated to witness an intense battle as numerous movies are vying for their spot in the limelight. The focus then shifts to Independence Day, considered an ideal date for pan-Indian releases due to the national holiday it represents.
In this race for the coveted release date, 'Pushpa 2' took an early stand by announcing its arrival on 15th August. Riding high on the success of 'Pushpa 1,' expectations for the sequel are soaring, and director Sukumar is leaving no stone unturned to meet these expectations. While the team asserts the film's firm release on 15th August, doubts linger, given the substantial remaining shooting.
With 'Devara' moving away from its initial release date on 5th April, speculations arise that it might aim for 15th August. This film, the first part of the story directed by Koratala Siva, generated significant hype with its glimpse, making the Independence Day slot seem perfect. However, the makers await updates from Allu Arjun's film before finalizing their decision.
Nani's 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya, also eyes the 15th August slot but is contingent on 'Pushpa 2' potentially getting postponed. The big Bollywood project 'Singham Again,' featuring Ajay Devgn and directed by Rohit Shetty, is set to hit the screens on the same date. Simultaneously, there are reports that Kamal Hassan and Shankar's 'Indian 2' might have a worldwide release on the exact date, following a positive response to its teaser.
Suriya's 'Kanguva,' an intense action drama directed by Siva, is another contender for the 15th August release. Notably, Superstar Rajnikanth's film with TJ Gnanavel is also in the mix. Despite this fierce competition, the makers of 'Pushpa 2' have officially announced their date, adding an element of suspense as we wait to see which film ultimately secures the Independence Day slot, and which one may choose to step back from this cinematic race.
