No doubt, both Allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu know the problems faced by film producers and families better than any one of us, as they were born and brought up in film families. Both of them saw production troubles very closely too.
Still, this decision to go head to head to unfathomable. We have seen heroes battling it out with same day releases during Sankranthi before but these days, day one collections have become highly important.
The record or non-record but big opening is a must for star hero films as the next days occupancy will depend on talk. A gap of a day or two is highly appreciable.
Petta and Viswasam in Tamil Nadu ate into each other's business on first day and distribution of shows between two films became a huge headache for Tamil Exhibitors.
Telugu Exhibitiors and Distributors avoided such unhealthy battles at box office by taking a day gap or two days gap approach.
With producers welcoming huge rates from distributors and in turn forcing distributors to ask for high MGs and SGs, the film business has become a huge gamble that everyone is fearing to enter.
And at this point such clash on 12th January, will lead to bigger troubles for both production houses and their valued distributors.
More than all this, Venky Mama and Nandamuri Kalyanram's Entha Manchivadavura are looking for 10th & 11th dates, which can further make it tough for two big films to get even massive release.
While distributors are trying to get at least an unofficial confirmation regarding the clash being averted, fans have started "Pucchakaya" and "Balisina Kodi" jokes, trolls which is keeping social media buzz active for both the films.
