It’s official that Superstar Rajinikanth’s much-awaited sci-fi entertainer 2 Point 0 will storm the box office for Diwali 2017. With Diwali falling on a Wednesday (Oct 18th) we can expect a 5-day opening weekend for 2 Point 0, as pointed by us earlier.
A superstar film is a festival by itself but when was the last time we had a Rajini film release during India’s biggest festival Diwali? That was in 1995 when Muthu hit the screens for Diwali. So 2.0 will Rajini’s 1st Diwali release in 22 years.
Likewise, 2 Point 0 will be Shankar’s 2nd Diwali release. Muthalvan is the only other Shankar film that has been released on Diwali.
