Magadheera to break BO record despite protests
TOLLYWOOD film-maker Allu Arvind’s blockbuster Magadheera (macho man) will garner revenues of Rs 40 crore despite a storm of protests by lawyers over a song-and-dance sequence that threatens to damage the image of their fraternity.
Megastar Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja plays the lead role in the film, which has been made with a budget of Rs 45-crore. Revenues from the film may even exceed the record set by Pokiri, according to Andhra Pradesh Film Producers Council president Tammareddy Bharadwaja. “Chiranjeevi’s guest appearance in the movie, his political foray a year ago and Andhra fans waiting to see him on screen could significantly contribute to the success of the movie,” Bharadwaja said.
The movie’s production house, Geeta Arts, claimed that revenues, including those from abroad, topped a record Rs 28 crore in the first week. “It had the highest budget and is most likely to break collection records. Controversies will only help viewership,” said a source from Geeta Arts.
