In another tweet by Adarsh, he mentioned that there are experts who suggest that the Indian Premier League (IPL) has curtailed the growth of this film. This is what he wrote, "Section of the industry feels #IPL2019 curtailed the growth of #Kesari on Sat [evening] and Sun... Two days that could’ve made a biggg difference to the *extended* weekend total... Weekdays pivotal... Strong numbers and solid trending [Mon-Thu] are a must."
