Just a couple of days ago, two Telugu producers, D.V.V. Danayya and Bunny Vasu, had created a big hue and cry about the release date of Rajinikanth’s upcoming film 2.0 clashing with their films. Both the aforementioned producers were planning to release their big-budget films, starring Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun respectively, on April 27. So, as soon as 2.0'’s release date of April 27 was made official, they took to social media to say that it wasn’t fair at all.
“On Friday, the Telugu Producers’ Council met and discussed about this issue. The two producers asked Sunil Narang, the man who has bought the Telugu distribution rights of Rajinikanth’s film, to confirm the release date,” says a source in the know. Sunil then immediately wrote to Lyca Productions, the original producers of 2.0 to confirm the date and they confirmed it as April 27.
“With this, the two Telugu producers have decided to change their release dates to give way for Rajinikanth’s film,” added the source. Now, Mahesh Babu’s film, will release on April 13 while Bunny Vasu is yet to announce the new date for the Allu Arjun-starrer. Thus, 2.0 is going to be the only film to release on the last weekend of April 2018. Notably, in a recent announcement the Council had also said that dubbed films will not be released on big festivals in the state.
