Selfiee box office collection day 2: Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi starrer Selfiee is struggling at the box office. However, the film and Akshay Kumar still have Ekta Kapoor’s support. The film, which is a remake of the Malayalam film Driver’s License and was released on Friday, collected Rs 3.80 cr on Saturday. While it is a rise from the film’s opening day collection, trade analyst Taran Adarsh called the film a ‘disastrous start.’

“#Selfiee struggles on Day 2… The big jump – so essential after a disastrous start – is clearly missing… The poor biz continues to shock, sadden and demoralise the industry… Fri 2.55 cr, Sat 3.80 cr. Total: ₹ 6.35 cr+. #India biz,” Taran Adarsh tweeted.

Reacting to the reports and reactions to Selfiee’s box office opening collections, Ekta took to her Instagram Stories and extended her support to the team.
