‘Bad Newz’ faced no competition from Akshay Kumar’s underdog saga ‘Sarfira’ and the Shankar-directed vigilante thriller ‘Indian 2’, especially in Hindi as both films failed to take off at the box office. The Karan Johar-backed film, however, faced competition from the Prabhas-led ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ despite the fact that it was released a few weeks ago. The sci-fi actioner has emerged as a global sensation and is still the top choice of fans especially in the Hindi and Telugu markets. ‘Bad Newz’ faces a mighty opponent going forward in the form of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, which is slated to open in theatres on Friday (July 26).
