Major clash averted, release dates changed
Two big films, Bharat Ane Nenu and Naa Peru Surya Naa Illu India (NPS) starring Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun respectively were all set to release on the same date of April 27.
Alarmed at this development, producers K.L. Narayana and Dil Raju invited the producers of the two films — D.V.V. Danayya and Lagadapati Sridhar to discuss the issue, and prevailed on them to change the release dates for the sake of the industry.
“We want to create a healthy atmosphere in the industry, so we both decided to alter our release dates. We also decided that a two week gap is good between the two big films, so we are releasing Bharat Ane Nenu on April 20 and Naa Peru Surya on May 4,” said both the producers after the meeting.
Meanwhile, K.L. Narayana and Dil Raju opine that it is not a good idea to release two big films on the same date, except during Sankranti, when three to four films release simultaneously. Seems like all’s well that ends well with these two big star films.
