Despite facing heavy blockades in business in the Nizam area, Allu Arjun-starrer 'Arya-2' is all set to reap collections of Rs. 30 cr. in the coming days. The producers of the movie have told us that their film suffered a severe blow in the strongholds of the stylish star ever since shows have been cancelled in the area following the announcement of fasting by K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Yet the film collected Rs. 6.5 cr. in the area. In Ceded, which was bandh-battered for many days, the film grossed over Rs. 4 cr. with the Vizag area alone collecting Rs. 1.60 cr. Guntur, Krishna, West Godavari and East Godavari contributed between Rs. 1.08-1.27 cr. If the Karnataka market grossed Rs. 1.90 cr., Chennai and North India have contributed nearly half a crore.
However, owing to the suspension of screenings and bandhs, the film lost an estimated Rs. 6-8 cr. in the state. In this scenario, it is overseas collections, along with audio rights and Kerala release that saved the day for the film. Arya2's reported earnings from them is put at Rs. 7 cr.!
Christmas, New Year and Pongal seasons are touted to be coming as boon for it. Already, the theatrical collections are put at Rs. 21 cr. and further running is said to rake in Rs. 3 cr. With this, Arya2 will have been the biggest grosser for the year after 'Magadheera' and 'Arundhati'.
