Nikhil Siddhartha’s Karthikeya 2 is creating a box office storm, particularly the Hindi version of the movie. It is giving tough competition to the recently released big-ticket films like Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan. It might also impact Taapsee Pannu’s upcoming film Dobaaraa. As per reports, Karthikeya 2 is replacing Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan shows in the theatres. If we go by leading trade analyst, then the exhibitors are opting to showcase Karthikeya 2 over Anurag Kashyap’s Dobaaraa.
Karthikeya 2 is the sequel to Chandoo Mondeti’s superhit 2014 movie of the same name. The film also features Anupam Kher, Anupama Parameswaran, Srinivas Reddy, Viva Harsha, and Aditya Menon in pivotal roles.
