Amidst constant speculations surrounding the release date of Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, rumours are rife that the makers will zero in on a date only after Rajinikanth's 2.0 seals its date with the audience.
In two instances, the <a title="Manikarnika " href="https://www.mid-day.com/topic/manikarnika-all" target="_blank">Manikarnika</a> team announced its release date &mdash; first, April 27 and then, August 15 &mdash; only to find themselves locking horns with the ambitious sci-fi drama on the respective dates. In order to avert a probable box-office clash, sources say, the makers have decided to wait on the final announcement.

Kamal Jain, producer of the Rani Laxmibai biopic, says, "We have mounted the movie on a scale that's hard to imagine. We don't want to clash or release too close to a film that can eat into our business. While we want to release the film between August and September, we haven't zeroed in on a date yet." Currently in post production, the film is apparently eyeing the September 28 window.
When asked if he had reached out to the makers of <a title="Robot 2" href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/robot-2-all" target="_blank">2.0</a>, Jain said, "We haven't, as of now. But buzz in the market is that they too are planning a release around September. So, we will wait and come to a consensus. Movies like Rani Laxmibai biopic are a one-time creation; we can't afford to go wrong with it. So, rushing with dates is not a good idea."
