The spy thriller 'Sardar 2', starring Karthi, has reportedly incurred a loss of about ₹50 crore after underperforming at the box office.
Sardar 2, the spy thriller featuring Karthi, has reportedly suffered a financial setback of roughly ₹50 crore due to its poor performance at the box office.
The film, which was marketed as a high‑stakes sequel to the 2018 hit Sardar, failed to attract the expected audience in both domestic and overseas markets.
Industry analysts suggest that the combination of a crowded release window and mixed word‑of‑mouth reviews contributed to the film’s disappointing earnings.
Production houses are now reassessing the project’s budget allocation and marketing strategy to mitigate further losses.
Despite the setback, the film’s team remains optimistic about future projects and is exploring ways to recover the investment through ancillary revenues.
