L2: Empuraan vs Salman Khan's Sikandar

One may think, given L2: Empuraan's rocky path in terms of Box Office earnings, Salman Khan's newly released Bollywood action drama Sikandar will take over the Mohanlal starrer movie.

The figures, however, reveal otherwise. As of Saturday, 6:30 pm, Salman Khan's Sikandar has minted ₹20 crore. Meanwhile, L2:Empuraan, on its opening day, minted ₹21 crore.

Given the neck and neck competition between Mohanlal and Salman Khan's movies, it remains to be seen if the Bollywood film can take over Empuraan.

Empuraan under political fire

The makers of Empuraan are considering cutting 17 scenes from the Mohanlal starrer movie after it spurred massive backlash from right-wing supporters over what appears to be references to the 2002 Gujarat riots.

Currently, seventeen cuts are under consideration, including a proposed name change for Baba Bajrangi, the antagonist who leads a mob, reported The Hindu.
