Trade analyst Girish Johar has said 2.0 will have a mammoth opening at the ticket counters. “The trailer of 2.0 has increased the expectations of the audience who have been waiting for the films release for a very long time. With a fantastic director like Shankar, I dont think the movie will falter even after the first day. Movie buffs in the South will go berserk as superstar Rajinikanth plays the lead role in the movie,” Johar told indianexpress.com.
Also, Akshay Kumars presence in the film will pull people to theaters in the Hindi belt as well. Johar suggested, “A strong villain always pulls audience as they get involved in the film and start connecting to the hero because of the villain. So, Akshays villainous avatar in 2.0 is definitely something which cinephiles are looking forward to. Also, his popularity in the Hindi speaking belt will help the sci-fi film mint money at the box office. It has the potential of becoming Akshays non-holiday highest opener.”
Giving an estimated figure of day one box office collection, Johar added, “The Hindi version of the film is expected to earn something between Rs 20-25 crore on the day of its release. If we consider all languages (Tamil and Telugu), the Rajinikanth starrer will touch Rs 100 crore (gross) mark on day one.”
