Box Office clash between Superstar Rajinikanth & Megastar Chiranjeevi

HYDERABAD: The makers of Rajinikanth’s Jailer have officially announced that there will be no postponement of the movie and it will release on August 10 with a teaser. This comes as a big surprise to everyone in the showbiz as they are in the opinion that the movie will get postponed. The confirmation on the release date of Jailer has now created a hurdle for other movies that were planned for release on Independence weekend in Telugu states.

Among them, Chiranjeevi’s Bholaa Shankar was scheduled to release on August 11, along with Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. Tentatively, Siddu Jonnalagadda’s Tillu Square and Mahaveerudu may also join the race on August 11. However, the official confirmation of Jailer's release has left other makers in a dilemma.

It is interesting to see Megastar Chiranjeevi and Superstar Rajinikanth heading into a box office clash with Bholaa Shankar and Jailer respectively.

A major theater clash is expected that weekend in other states as well. To avoid unwanted comparisons with Vedalam, Bholaa Shankar may not be released in Tamil, and the makers may stick to Telugu states, just like Chiru’s Waltair Veerayya did.

Jailer, directed by Beast director Nelson, is an action drama which will have a decent release in Telugu. Sivaraj Kumar, Mohan Lal, Sunil, and Jackie Shroff are appearing in crucial roles. The story is about a Jailer who wants to bring criminals back to jail, and most of the action appears to take place in one night.
