Rajinikanth starrer 2.0 in problem with Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun films' producers
Mumbai: Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar starrer '2.0' is gearing up for a release but that won't happen without an obstacle in the name of Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun films' producers Bunny Vas and DVV Danayya respectively.
'2.0' has been delayed since a long time and while it might have avoided clashes in Bollywood, the latest release date of Rajinikanth’s movie might have upset the regional industry.
Allu Arjun’s 'Naa Peru Surya' directed by Vakkantham Vamsi and Mahesh Babu’s 'Bharath Ane Nenu' directed by Koratala Siva have announced their release dates as 27th April. The problem arose when 2.0 got delayed and have to finalize their release date as 27th April, just like the two movies had decided.
When you have a movie like '2.0' and megastar Rajinikanth, who is treated next to God, then you can be assured that the fear is real.
Both the producers requested that the required action take place. DVV Danayya tweeted:
Tollywood has always respected and embraced other language cinema. But a bigger project like Robo 2.0 changing their release dates has caused confusion among producers. (1/3)

All the Telugu movie producers who are releasing in the months of Apr and May are in discussions to avoid any competition among ourselves. However this sudden announcement by ROBO 2 team to release in the month of April has left all the Telugu releases to further confusion. (2/3)

At this juncture we request the trade bodies to take a conscious call and arrive at an amicable solution. #Mahesh24 #2Point0 (3/3)

“We always welcome regional films in our state. But, Rajinikanth’s '2.0' has announced a lot of release dates creating needless confusion among our peers. DVV Danayya and I have mutually decided to take up this issue with the producers’ council, and exhibitors association of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana '2.0' will affect our plans. As of now, we will stand by our commitment,” Bunny Vas stated.
It is also being said that '2.0' teaser and trailer will be out in the first quarter of 2018.
