Sikandar vs L2 Empuraan Box Office: Indian movies are expected to have a significant Eid weekend! L2: Empuraan, featuring Prithviraj Sukumar and Mohanlal, billed as the most costly Malayalam movie ever. Salman Khan, starrer, on the other hand will make his big-screen comeback with action-thriller Sikandar.
Sikandar opens in theaters on March 30, while L2: Empuraan is scheduled to release on March 27. The two movies will potentially clash at the box office. Amid much fanfare for both, Prithviraj Sukumaran explained that there 'is no competition' between these movies during a recent press conference in Delhi.
"Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars in the country, and there is no competition between the two movies. I hope it becomes a blockbuster," Prithviraj Sukumaran said.
L2 Empuraan filmmaker further added, "I will have no complaints if you watch L2: Empuraan at 11 AM and Sikandar at 1 PM."
One man. One mission. One empire. 🔥💥
