The release date of one of the biggest ever films in Sandalwood is out. Prem’s directorial has been censored and will reportedly release on September 27 in a record number of screens. It is also being said that the film will create a record of sorts in Gandhinagar, by releasing in three theatres.
“The Villain”, which has Shivrajkumar and Sudeep in the lead, will release in Santhosh, Narthaki and Triveni theatres in Bengaluru. Advance booking for the film will open 15 days before its release. It was earlier speculated that the film will release on September 13, which is a holiday on account of the Ganesha festival, however, the CBFC’s censorship and other issues delayed the film’s release for a week.
September 27 looks like a perfect date for release. With a four day extended weekend, the film can expect a great opening as two of Sandalwood’s biggest stars will be seen together on screen for the first time. October 2, which is a national holiday and falls on Tuesday, will also help the film gain good collections.
