There are a lot of expectations for "Uttama Villain" as Kamal has a huge fans list following worldwide. His star status always ensures that his film gets good openings. "Uttama Villain" is also expected to kick off on a grand note at the box office.

"Uttama Villain" vs "GAV" Clash
With no big Tamil releases, "Uttama Villain" is likely to dominate in Tamil Nadu. However, the film's Telugu dubbed version is expected to face tough competition from "GAV" in AP/Telangana areas. The Charan starrer is expected to dominate over "Uttama Villain" in these locations.
The real fight will be in overseas markets where both the films will be fighting out with each other as well as with other biggies like "Bang Bang" (Hindi) and "Haider" (Hindi) to grab enough number of screens. It will be interesting to see as to which of these films will dominate the overseas box office.
