Sir/Vaathi was the first bilingual actor of Dhanush, and he once again acted in a bilingual movie, Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula with Nagarjuna in a crucial role. Though the film received superb collections, Kuberaa’s Tamil version underperformed at the box office.
Rarely do we see day 2 being bigger than
the opening day for a film, but Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa achieved it. The film
sold 328K tickets on the BookMyShow ticketing app on the opening day, and it
sold 339K tickets on the second day.
Overall, the day 2 collections of the film are 10% higher
than the opening day. But the only concern for the film is the Tamil version’s
box office performance. The film has to witness a 30-40% jump from day 1, as it
received an average start.
However, the day 2 and day 3 jump for the Tamil version is
minimal, and it is not happening in the expected range. So, despite having a
superb weekend in theaters, Kuberaa’s Tamil version underperformed at the box
office.
If the film sees good collections in Tamil like Telugu, then
the weekend could have been much bigger. The trade expected a 50-50
contribution from Tamil and Telugu at the box office.
But as far as 2-day collections are concerned, 70% of the
numbers are coming from Telugu and 30% from Tamil.
Talented filmmaker who has been behind Minnal Murali and
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, Basil Joseph, is going to make this Indian Superhero
film as per reports. And it seems that perhaps his favourite choice for the
lead role Shaktimaan is none other than Ranveer Singh.
However, it cannot be forgotten that the OG Shaktimaan,
Mukesh Khanna, took the media by a frenzy in his outrage against Ranveer being
cast as Shaktimaan. This brought a lot of shame for Ranveer who then decided to
part ways with the film for the time being and focus on more promising projects
like Don 3. Recently, reports from his team stated that he won’t be producing
Shaktimaan as he is busy with Dhurandhar and Don 3. There were reports that
Allu Arjun will take over this role and his fans were elated with this
prospect.
But Basil has now stated that “No one else is doing Shaktimaan. It is Ranveer
Singh and no one else.” Amidst all this confusion, fans and experts are saying
Ranveer should stay away from this project as it is too controversial and looks
like it lacks potential. Clarifications and updates are awaited from Ranveer’s
end, even his well wishers don’t want him to associate with such a film.
