“Mirai” and “Ghaati” were initially slated to release on September 5, setting up a direct clash.
However, the latest buzz suggests that the makers of both films are reconsidering this move and may opt to space out their releases.
Industry insiders feel that a head-on competition would hurt both projects. Talks are underway, and it’s likely that either Mirai or Ghaati will shift to a later date.
September is already crowded, with Pawan Kalyan’s much-anticipated “OG” locked for the last week. This leaves the first three weeks of the month open for other releases to secure their slots.
“Mirai” is a superhero film starring Teja Sajja, with Karan Johar’s company distributing the Hindi version. Thanks to the surprise pan-India success of Teja’s Hanu Man, the film is fetching strong business deals.
On the other hand, “Ghaati” marks Anushka Shetty’s comeback after two years, adding to its buzz.
