Currently a debate is going on in trade circles how Shahrukh Khan is following his favorite star, Superstar Rajnikanth. While Dilwale just crossed 3 million dollars ‘gross’ from USA box office, the actual fact is that his collection is not enough back home to save the local distributors.
Here is Superstar connection to Dilwale explained. Before the release of “Lingaa”, superstar Rajni praised Lingaa story and concept as top notch. He kept on promoting the film in Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai too.
Presence of Sonakshi Sinha is seen as a huge advantage up north. Frankly, all that hype ended as a goof up, because huge hype is also a factor responsible for the film’s flop show. Despite the fact that the film collected 100 crores and above, distributors lost nealry 50% of their investments.
Same is the case with Dilwale that failed to entertain audiences. Even if the collections cross 100 crores ‘nett’ by tomorrow, a week after release, distributors won’t feel happy.
Because they should get nearly 250 crores ‘nett’ to break into profits, say trade reports. So, Dilwale is following the Lingaa way at box office. Will distributors of Dilwale revolt like the ones of Lingaa?
