The release date clash between Mahesh Babu’s Sarileru Neekevvaru and Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is not a new thing to Telugu folks as they are fighting for the same date from a long time. However, while Allu Arjun stuck to his 12th Jan date, Mahesh moved to 11th earlier.
But with reports doing rounds everywhere that Sarileru Neekevvaru has all the advantage for coming a day in advance, the distributors of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo got puzzled which led to creating immense pressure on Geetha Arts and Haarika-Haasini to do something. That led to another breakout of date war, which is finally not going to be settled in anyone’s favour.
As the date 10th has its nightmare for both Mahesh whose 1-Nenokkadine released on the same date, and for Trivikram who got Agnyaathavasi on the same date, both Sarileru Neekevvaru and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo will not be hitting on that date. Now, Allu Arjun wants to come on 11th in case if Sarileru Neekevvaru is sticking to that date. Or he’s said to be welcoming the film to release alongside Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo on Jan 12th.
Looks like both the heroes are not in a mood to miss out the release day advantage. But the logic seems to be: They won’t be allowing the other film to get a day advantage and eat into the revenues.
