Yet to recover budget!
Akaal is made on an estimated budget of 10 crores. So far, the makers have been able to recover 55% of the investments. Hopefully, Gippy Grewal’s film will continue its slow but steady run and achieve the breakeven stage in its lifetime.
Sippy Gill starrer Gangland is releasing in theatres next Friday, April 25, 2025. This means that Gippy Grewal‘s film has to add moolah before its arrival if it wants to avoid danger and attain a safe spot in time.
