However, many trade insiders suggest that Darbar’s business might take a hit due to the release of Mahesh Babu starrer Sarileru Neekevvaru. The film saw the box office rake up some pretty impressive numbers over the weekend. There have been several reports that suggest that Darbar earned almost ₹22 crores from pre-release businesses including the sale of its worldwide theatrical rights.

Directed by AR Murugadoss, the action drama revolves around a police officer on a chase to hunt down a dreaded gangster for fulfilling his secret agenda. Rajinikanth plays the role of a cop, Aadhithya Arunachalam, while Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty portrays the role of a bad guy, Hariharan "Hari" Chopra. It is yet to be seen if Darbar manages to surpass the business of the other Rajinikanth film as well or not.
