Anushka's
Rudhramadevi,
which
is
being
raved
about
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
is
expected
to
be
released
in
more
than
100
screens
in
Tamil
Nadu
alone.
The
Tamil
version
of
the
movie
might
swoop
into
350
more
theatres
worldwide
on
October
16th.
Given
Anushka's
popularity
in
Tamil
Nadu,
the
film
is
expected
to
collect
big
in
its
first
weekend.
Having
collected
more
than
25
Crore
rupees
in
the
first
3
days
from
its
Telugu
version
(share
alone),
the
film
is
sure
to
give
a
tough
competition
to
straight
Tamil
movies
when
it
releases
here.
Ilayathalapathy
Vijay's
Puli
too
might
face
a
stiff
challenge
from
Rudhramadevi
this
weekend.
Puli
is
still
running
in
many
theatres
in
the
state,
but
that
might
change
once
the
Anushka
starrer
gets
released.
Having
collected
close
to
75
Crores
from
its
first
week,
Puli
has
ventured
into
its
second
week.
Come
October
16th
and
the
Vijay
starrer
would've
entered
its
third
weekend.
Since
the
movie
is
yet
to
gather
118
Crores
(Puli's
budget)
there
will
be
some
pressure
on
the
fantasy
flick
as
it
enters
its
third
weekend
with
Rudhramadevi
for
company.
