2.0 witnesses record-breaking advance booking

One of the most awaited films in recent times and the most expensive Indian film of all time, director S. Shankar's 2.0 starring Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar is expected to run riots at the box office. Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan and Akshay Kumar's 2.0 are two films which were/are expected to challenge Baahubali 2: The Conclusion's box office record. While Thugs of Hindostan turned out to be a big disaster, all eyes are now on 2.0. And if a trade analyst is to be believed, 2.0 is all set to massacre box office once it opens next week.

According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, 2.0 has had a record-breaking advance booking. Even before the release, the movie has amassed a whopping Rs 120 crore just in advance booking. With this, it has become the first film in Tamil cinema to go past Rs 100 crore. Tweeting about the figures, Ramesh Bala wrote, "#2Point0 TN Pre-release Theaterical total advance is valued the highest in Tamil Cinema.. Nearly ₹ 120 Crs.. A First in Tamil Cinema to cross ₹ 100 Crs.." Also read: It's gonna be one Akshay Kumar vs four Rajinikanths in 2.0 - watch video

It'll be interesting to see how much 2.0 makes at the box office on its opening day and weekend and lifetime, subsequently. Taking into consideration its advance booking, one thing is for sure, 2.0 will create some records at the box office. As far as the records created by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is concerned, 2.0 needs to have a pan India appreciation for that.

It is also reported that 2.0 will be the biggest Indian release ever in overseas, in terms of screens.
