For a long time, the 100 crores club was the privilege for the Bollywood circuit and it looked far fetched for Tollywood. However, the magnum opus Baahubali dispelled such thoughts and from then on, many other movies in Telugu has been able to get to that magic number.
Nothing can bring more pride and brand for a hero who can touch the 100 crores mark with his movie. The talk now is about youth star Nithiin and whether he can get into the Rs 100 crores bracket with his latest release A..Aa. The film has opened to very good reviews and response.
As it is, the pre release business was done at nearly 30 crores as per sources. Given the fact that it has released on a long weekend, the Trivikram brand that runs strong in overseas market, the absence of a big budget flick for the next few weeks, it does look quite possible that it can reach the 100 crores bracket. Best of luck for that Nithiin!
