Shah Rukh Khan’s film Chennai Express set a record in Bollywood by earning 7 crores from paid previews on August 8, 2013, and this record has remained unbeaten for 11 years. The next closest film was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat, which made 4.5 crores in 2018.
Now, Chennai Express’ record might be in danger. The upcoming film Stree 2, produced by Dinesh Vijan and featuring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and Pankaj Tripathi, is highly anticipated.
The release is planned for the Independence Day weekend, and the film industry is excited about its potential success.
Sources say that the makers are planning special midnight screenings of Stree 2 on August 14. These previews are set to start after 7:30 PM. This strategy aims to attract a large audience, especially since the next day is a holiday (Independence Day).
The team behind Stree 2 is confident that these special shows will be a hit, and they expect to sell out quickly. They are planning to hold these screenings across the country, with tickets available online.
Trade experts believe that if Stree 2’s special shows perform well, it could finally break Shah Rukh Khan’s record.
With limited screenings initially planned, the film might need around 1,500 to 2,000 shows to set a new record.
