Ranveer's 'Dhurandhar 2' to have special shows on March 18
What's the story
The much-anticipated Bollywood film Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, will have paid previews on March 18, reported Bollywood Hungama. The previews are scheduled to start at 5:00pm in India. This move is part of the makers' strategy to create a strong opening for the film, which is set to release worldwide on March 19.
Trailer release
Trailer to drop at 11:01am on Saturday
The trailer for Dhurandhar 2 will be released on Saturday at 11:01am, as previously announced by Singh. The film will be released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. Advance bookings will reportedly open immediately after the trailer launch. This is a notable strategy since pre-sales for Bollywood films usually start just a few days or a week before the release date.
Box office expectations
Makers eye record-breaking opening for film
The decision to hold paid previews a day before the official release is seen as a move to maximize the opening momentum. The film is expected to deliver the biggest opening for a Bollywood film, breaking all previous records by a significant margin. The first part of the franchise was released on December 5 and went on to become the highest-earning Hindi film.
