If you are in Delhi and UP, and planning to watch Baaghi 3 in a single screen theatre, you will find it tough to find a screen. Tiger Shroff's upcoming action film, due to release on March 6, is not opening in many single-screen theatres in the region. As per trade analyst Komal Nahta, Fox Studios, producer of Baaghi 3, are not giving the prints to at least 50 single-screen theatres and some multiplexes in UP and Delhi. The producers wanted the controllers to sign a contract where they demanded only their next film, Akshay Kumar's Laxmmi Bomb, to be played on Eid, leaving no screens for Salman Khan's Radhe, which is also releasing on the same day.

It seems like Fox Studios wants to have a monopoly over the marker, which many distributors refused. Resulting in a lack of screens for Baaghi 3. This might just go against the pockets of the single-screen cinema owners. Radhe is being released worldwide by Yash Raj Films. This can turn into a battle between YRF and Fox.

Komal has also hinted this market control as the beginning of a war between Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Things have not been great between the two actors lately. Their films Sooryavanshi and Inshallah were supposed to clash before Rohit Shetty, director of the former moved the film to a different date. Unfortunately, Inshallah was shelved days after the aforementioned postponement making the change futile. Soon, two new movies featuring the actors, Laxmmi Bomb and Radhe were announced to be competing for the vacant release dates.
