When City Express connected with RGV about this clash, RGV says, “I am of the belief that every film has its own audience. The release of Bhairava Geetha and Robot 2.0 on the same day is the call of producers and distributors. It shows their confidence in the film.”

 

When we spoke to Dhananjay about this clash, he says, “I don’t know whether Bhairava Geetha can fight against a big film like 2.0. Howeve,r if we miss this date, we have to wait for atleast two more months to release our film. It’s only because of this that we are going ahead with the release. There is no competition.”
