After “Vikram” and “Major”, none of the movies had posted even decent numbers. Even macho star Gopichand could not bring openings to his film “Pakka Commercial”.
“Ante Sundaraniki”, “Godse”, “Virata Parvam”, “Sammathame”, “Pakka Commercial”, “Chor Bazaar”, “10th Class Dairies”, and “Happy Birthday”...neither small nor medium-budgeted movies were clicked in the last four or five weeks. The entire Telugu film industry is worrying about the theatrical business.
When dubbed movies like “Vikram” and “KGF 2” minted big money in AP and Telangana, why are straight mid-range Telugu movies struggling to find audiences in the theaters? The distributors and producers are worrying about this trend.
So, now all eyes are on Ram Pothineni and his upcoming release, The Warriorr. The action drama is an out-and-out mass entertainer.
It has the potential to open big. Ram proved that he could attract mass audiences with “iSmart Shankar”.
The songs have also clicked. The presence of Krithi Shetty who has a good following among the youth is another advantage.
Ram Pothineni has the responsibility to end the drought at the theaters.
