Son of Sardaar 2 struggles to get screeners
Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's Son of Sardaar 2 is all set to hit theaters on August 1. Ahead of the release, the film has been reportedly struggling to get screeners and the reason is Saiyaara.
Pinkvilla reported, "Saiyaara is running strong at the box office, and exhibitors are not willing to let go of the romantic saga in the third week too. Mahavatar Narsimha is also beginning to gain momentum, and with audience demand, there is a spike in showcasing for the film.”
The source further added that PVR Inox is demanding 60 percent of the show, while exhibitors are not allocating more than 35 percent.
"However, exhibitors are willing allot not more than 35 per cent of shows at their properties. While some single screens have agreed on two-shows per-day, the non-national chains are willing to give not more than 35 per cent shows to Son of Sardaar 2. This has left PVRInox fuming, and the fight is on to secure more shows," it further added.
Meanwhile, Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2 is also releasing on August 1. The film is going to be released on 1000 screens on the first day.
