The craze of the big-ticket south Indian movies amongst the Indian cinephiles is on another level nowadays, we have seen it first with the Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa who even in the pandemic time ruled the box office across the nation.
Though at the box office south, films like Doctor, Love Story, Republic had already done good business during the time of the covid pandemic, Pushpa gave the boost to the box office north, which was just reviving with Akshay starrer Sooryavanshi, that too without promotion Pushpa managed to churn out over Rs 100 Cr nett collection at the BO north.

Not only in the home market but the film has been fetching good numbers from the Hindi belt and overseas as well.

Since the Yash starrer is getting love from across the country as far as the advance sales are concerned, the makers of Shahid Kapoor starrer Jersey pushed back the release date to a week. According to many trade analysts, it is of fear of the K.G.F 2 monster advance sales.
And also we have recently seen how the RRR mania put a stop to John starrer box office collections, the big-ticket film only managed to collect over Rs 11 Cr on its opening weekend.
So, it is safe to say that the Jersey makers opt for the right decision, as the clash would be halting the films business since K.G.F 2 buzz is high in the country.

Prashant Neel’s directorial has churned out the business of Rs 345 Cr worldwide, let you know the recent blockbuster RRR has done the pre-release business of Rs 451 Cr. K.G.F 2 earned most from Karnatka and Hindi versions followed by Telugu.

Watch The Trailer
‘KGF 2 will fail immensely as there is an inherent problem? Movie is not a TV serial. People want new (a fresh story) not a continuation.’ If a movie is to be long, it has to made as one piece (it will be like Lava Kusa, Dhana Veera Sura Karna). The thinking to divide a movie into two and pocket money that strategy wont work always?
