Come April 14, 2017 (which also happens to be Good Friday as well as the Tamil new year), S S Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Conclusion, the eagerly awaited follow-up film to the massively successful National Award-winning Baahubali: The Beginning faces off against Shankar’s 2.0 (formerly titled Robot 2).
The Baahubali team made this announcement mid-March and most trade experts felt that Robot would shift dates to avoid the clash.
It now seems, however, that the war of sequels is on, after all and the 2.0 team is expected to go ahead with their April 14, 2017 release.
“Why not? The mother language of Baahubali is Telugu while Robot is in Tamil. The clash will not be headlong. And it’s a long weekend, beginning April 14. Long enough to accommodate two big films,” says a source close to the 2.0 team.
“One of the two biggies is bound to suffer,” predicts a trade pundit.
