Now it seems that the superstar"s efforts to get back on the top of the Box Office. His latest release Athidi has lived up to the hype that surrounded it. After setting the record of collecting six crores on the first day itself, the film has made exactly 16,72,58,868 rupees – and that"s only in the first four days of release that"s around 4 crores a day.

The only film that is close to beating it, which is running now, is the Victory Venkatesh Nayantara film Tulasi which has made a cool 16 crore in 16 days, replicating the success of Venkatesh"s last outing at the Box Office with Trisha which made close to 25 crores running in 200 days for some centers.
