Kamal Haasan makes ZERO impact on Kalki 2898 AD
Kalki 2898 AD now intends to break even at 22 crores, meaning that a successful picture would need to make about 40 crores, which is a big ambition for a telugu film in tamil Nadu. It was hoped that Kamal Haasan's appearance would attract a sizable crowd. The scenario is a bit frightening, nevertheless, based on the early reaction to the advanced reservations for kalki 2898 AD in tamil regions.
Despite these obstacles, there is still hope that kalki 2898 AD can stop this downward trend. It is anticipated that tamil viewers will welcome the movie with the same fervor that telugu viewers have for tamil films. In the next several hours, there should be a noticeable increase in reservations. Apart from the bad tamil box office advance bookings, Kamal Haasan's reputation lends a great deal of goodwill to the production. The film will profit immensely from being translated into other languages, such as telugu if it succeeds and Kamal has a significant part. If word of mouth spreads widely, there is optimism that this success will also be seen in Tamil.
