Yes, these humongous stars are coming with their respective films and the anticipation is quite high. Deol's Gadar 2 has an upper hand compared to Rajinikanth's Jailer and Kumar's OMG 2.
'Gadar 2' promises another Bollywood blockbuster
As per trade analysts, the Anil Sharma directorial sold over 1,05,300 tickets for Day 1 across the national chains. As per Sumit Kadel, the movie will open with Rs. 30-35 crore in India. The film's target group is the mass belts which depend a lot on spot booking. The cast includes Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma, among others.
'OMG 2' is struggling already
Kumar's OMG 2 was in a tiff with the Central Board of Certification and is now finally getting released with an 'A' certificate. This will hamper the film's box office potential.
