While high expectations are pinned to the period drama, the film releases alongside the Telugu film Major and the Tamil film Vikram. Major stars Adivi Sesh in the lead while Vikram brings Kamal Haasan back to the big screen after a long time. All three films are tracking fairly decent at the box office, as of Thursday night.
Meanwhile, the film has been declared tax free in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand. UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath watched the film on Thursday at a special screening in Lucknow, following which he declared the film tax free.
