Two films of Rashmika will be released on the same day in December. One is with Allu Arjun and the other is with Vicky. The film coming opposite Pushpa is about the life and times of the son of Shivaji the Maharashtra warrior.
Pushpa 2 won’t have any advantage by coming on December 6. Infact it will face severe heat from Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava which also is releasing on the same day.
Chhaava also features Rashmika as the leading lady, and the movie is about Chatrapathi Shivaji’s son, Sambhaji. Until today, there was a hope that Chhaava might get postponed due to Pushpa 2, but the
Bollywood filmmakers seem not worried about the PAN Indian film.
Chhaava’s teaser was released today and it had December 6 as the release date.
Though Pushpa 2 has a phenomenal craze in the Hindi belt, its box office prospects will surely be affected in Maharashtra, where Chatrapati Shivaji is regarded as God. Ajay Devgn’s Tanhaji did
record-breaking business in the Mumbai circuit, and it ran for more than two months.
Now Chhaava is about Shivaji’s son, and it is sure to take Maharashtra by storm. Mumbai is a significant contributor to Hindi cinema and Pushpa 2 will find it tough in this region.
It will be interesting to see the box office clash between Allu Arjun and Vicky Kaushal. Chhaava is produced by Maddock Films, who also backed Stree 2.
