However, the only reason it might lose out on at least ₹8-10 crore on day 1 as also its first weekend is because of RRR. Here's how...

A well-placed trade source within the industry has exclusively apprised BollywoodLife that the sequel to KGF Chapter 1 could have touched ₹40 crore nett day 1 in the Hindi belt alone and would've easily beaten RRR's worldwide opening-day record were it not for RRR as producer/distributor Jayantilal Gada has apparently ensured that the latter will be retaining a sizeable amount of screens on account of a.) How well it's doing and b.) With Jersey now being postponed by a week, which is also his film, some of the screens for the Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur starrer might also be diverted to RRR's retainment. This lack of potential screens is the only facts that might slightly hamper KGF Chapter 2's day 1 march by a bit as per our source.

Releasing nationwide on 14the April 2022, in Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam, K.G.F.: Chapter 2 is produced by Vijay Kiragandur, under the Hombale Films banner.
