Trade experts believe that most of the film earnings will come from Maharashtra because Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj holds significant historical and cultural value in that region. The release will take place on May 1 which is Maharashtra Day so theatres throughout the state will experience increased attendance and improved box office performance.
