John's 'Satyameva Jayate 2' will clash with Salman's 'Radhe'
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who has reserved the Eid holiday for his releases, will clash with actor John Abraham this year at the box office. Today, the makers of Satyameva Jayate 2 announced that the movie will release on May 13, 2021, a day earlier than planned. It will now lock horns with Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, Salman's much-awaited movie.
Poor reviews hadn't deterred 'Satyameva Jayate' from minting money
Satyameva Jayate 2 is the sequel to the 2018 release Satyameva Jayate, also starring John. Seasoned actor Manoj Bajpayee was also a part of the movie. The movie told the story of Veer (John) who murdered corrupt cops by setting them on fire. Though the movie received poor reviews from critics, it went on to become one of the highest-earning films of 2018.
This time, John will fight corruption in Lucknow
Seemingly, both the movies aren't linked with each other. While the first movie was set in Mumbai, Satyameva Jayate 2 has Lucknow as its backdrop. Moreover, John will be seen essaying two characters — Satya and Jay. The actor described his characters as "sons of India." The movie also stars Divya Khosla Kumar. It has been produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Emmay Entertainment.
