Eid nahi toh Diwali hi sahi! Fans were all set to witness the big box-office fight between Salman Khan’s action entertainer Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai and Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Laxmmi Bomb, which were slated for an Eid release. But their ‘Big Takkar’ was avoided in ‘Corona ka Chakkar’.
However, looks like Diwali Dhamaka will have the superstars vying for the Box-office collections. Now, Radhe will not have a collision with Laxmmi but with Prithviraj! Yes! Both Salman’s Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai and Akshay’s historical drama Prithviraj are eyeing a Diwali 2020 release!
After missing the Eid Extravaganza, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai is determined to hit theatres in Diwali and the makers are now gearing up to finish shooting the remaining movie portions in Mumbai itself.
On the other hand, Yash Raj Films is right on track to wrap up Prithviraj in time for Diwali, once multiplexes also open shop. “The sets of Prithviraj erected outdoors had been dismantled but Aditya Chopra has already got his team to build sets indoors at YRF. They have chalked out a perfect plan to film the remaining portions of their period drama inside the studios itself with limited staff and technicians. Adi is very sure and in touch with all exhibitors.”
Hopefully, we keep fingers crossed that things all work out with the Covid-19 situation and we get to see this Diwali as a Dhamakedaar one at the Box Office!
