Ajay Devgn’s GOLMAAL AGAIN Averts Clash With SECRET SUPERSTAR, 2.0

Thursday, 13th April 2017, 11:55 AM IST Ajay Devgn’s ‘Golmaal Again’ was slated to release with ‘Secret Superstar’ and ‘2.0’, but looks like the actor has sensibly planned to avert the clash and shift his release date. A source was quoted saying, “Ajay and the Reliance heads (who are backing the film) were in talks with distributors and were enquiring if, despite the clash, they would still manage to get at least 2,400-2,600 screens for their film. The distributors had assured him that much initially, and it’s not surprising given that it’s a Rohit Shetty entertainer and more than that, a really popular franchise.” An exhibitor was heard saying, “‘2.0’ is going to dominate down South, because it is a Rajinikanth film and it’s no secret that he is worshipped in the region. His films are made for the masses. Also, one must not forget that the major reason why Akshay Kumar works for that film is because of his huge hold in North India, which most dubbed South films lack. So, ‘2.0’ is going to work big time up North as well and that meant major screen crunch for ‘Golmaal 4’ if it clashed with the Rajini-Akshay starrer. Another huge reason why ‘Golmaal’ and ‘2.0’ cannot clash is because they are made for similar audiences — the youth and families. But Aamir’s ‘Secret Superstar’ has a very different audience base — it’s made largely for the metro urban multiplex audiences and is a relatively niche film. So ‘Secret Superstar’ won’t be that affected by the release of ‘2.0’ on Diwali. Whoever wants to watch it will anyway watch it and Aamir knows this film won’t bring in the numbers that his other films do. After all, he just has an extended guest appearance.” ‘Golmaal Again’ would have been a Diwali release, but now it appears the movie will change its release date.
