Nani’s theatrical business took a severe beating in recent years. He is not able to pull the audiences to theaters in big numbers. The trend is similar in the overseas market as well.
Proof: the opening numbers of his latest film, Ante Sundaraniki.
Directed by Vivek Athreya, “Ante Sundaraniki” debuted Thursday in the USA. The film collected $211,341 from the Thursday previews. This is the second-best opening in his career after “MCA” ($303k). Compared to the recent release “Major”, the film performed less.
Adivi Sesh starrer “Major” grossed $269,526 from Thursday previews. In other words, Nani’s film collected less than Adivi Sesh’s movie. Nani seems to have lost craze at the box office lately.
When Nani cannot bring collections on par with Adivi Sesh's film, it is considered that his graph has gone down.
