On one side, Ajay Devgn has brought the much-required relief to the box office. On the other side, the audiences are trying to keep Bhediya and An Action Hero alive. Both films are underperforming, despite positive word-of-mouth. Ayushmann's film is considered as 'original and innovative,' still the film isn't performing as per the expectations, or audience reception. Varun's Bhediya has also crossed the Rs 50 crore mark, but the film is still considered average, and there were high hopes riding on the film.
Recently, Tabu spoke about the success of Drishyam 2. While interacting with Indian Express, Tabu said, "Drishyam felt like my own home ground! Back then, not many films were made in this space, especially with established names. I didn’t even expect there would be a sequel." The Maqbool star further stated, I expected the Drishyam series to go big, but the success of Drishyam 2, has exceeded her expectations."
This Friday, Ajay Devgn's wife Kajol will bring her family drama Salaam Venky, and it will be interesting to see if Mrs Devgn would give tough competition to Ajay Devgn.
