Srimanthudu has totally changed the game plan for Mahesh and has got him into the Rs 100 crore club. And a major contribution to this is from the NRI viewers who have made the film a huge hit.
In fact, the film's three producers are NRIs and they also have good circles out there. So, to thank his fans and audiences in the US, Mahesh is planning to hold a thank you function in USA once the film completes 50 days.
This way, he can also stay in touch with the NRIs and extend his market there. Well, today, it is a given that the overseas market is very crucial for a big film to turn into a super hit.
In case of Srimanthudu, the film grossed a share of Rs 12 crores in the US and Rs 2 crores in other countries.
So is the case with Nani's Bhale Bhale Magadivoy that is doing good business in the US.
Goes without saying, that Mahesh has surely come up with a win-win strategy.
