Bollywood superstars and good friends Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan had clashed at the box office with their period drama and thriller – ‘Rustom’ and ‘Mohenjo Daro’ respectively in 2016.
Looks like history is all set to repeat once again. Yes, if the latest trade reports are to be believed then the two will be clashing once again in 2019 with their respective films-‘2.0’ and ‘Super 30’.
As per sources, “As Aamir Khan’s ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’ releases this Diwali and Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zero’ is scheduled for Christmas, the makers of ‘2.0’ decided to come out next year. The Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth starrer will now clash with Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Super 30’.”
Sources added, “South filmmaker Shankar’s ‘2.0’ release date has been postponed several times. The ‘2.0’ team had to majorly work on the VFX because they weren’t entirely happy with the first copy. That’s also the reason they haven’t released any promo officially. But they are eyeing the Republic Day weekend next year. So if that happens, it will be a clash between the two real-life neighbors and good friends Akshay and Hrithik Roshan.”(Also Read: This actor joins the cast of Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Super 30’)
Now it remains to be seen if at all Rajinikanth’s ‘2.0’ really finalizes Republic Day 2019 as their new release date and how the ‘Super 30’ team reacts to it.
