Post the success of Pathaan, John Abraham was returning to the big screen in an action avatar with Nikkhil Advani’s Vedaa. While the makers were the first one to announce its release date as 15th August, but the prospects of the film were severely hampered by the Stree 2 juggernaut which minted over Rs 225 crore in just 5 days.
The John Abraham and Sharvari starrer began its journey on a good note by earning Rs 6.3 crore on 15th August, Thursday.This has been the trend of John led films in the past few years, they have not been able to reach double digit openings. On Friday however, the film dropped to Rs 1.8 crore. On Saturday, it witnessed a small spike to reach Rs 2.7 crore and Rs 3.2 crore on Sunday. Monday, which was a partial holiday on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, was expected to perform relatively better for the film, but the film crashed by more than 50 % to collect only Rs 1.5 crore, as per early estimates by Sacnilk, thus taking the overall collection of the film to Rs 15.50 crore.
Vedaa would add to the long list of unsuccessful films of John like Ek Villain Returns, Attack, Satyameva Jayate 2 and Mumbai Saga. He’s most likely to be seen in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Houseful 5 with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan and Boman Irani. On the other hand, Sharvari who plays the titular role in Vedaa, is shooting for her next film Alpha, with Alia Bhatt. Hrithik Roshan is set to make a cameo appearance in the film, expanding YRF’s Spy Universe.
