Maanaadu
has
been
winning
hearts
ever
since
it
released
in
theatres.
After
facing
several
struggles,
the
time
loop
drama
finally
made
it
to
the
big
screens
on
November
25.
Though
the
film
was
expected
to
hit
the
cinemas
along
with
Rajinikanth's
Annaatthe,
the
makers
had
to
postpone
the
release
to
avoid
a
clash
with
the
superstar's
rural
drama.
Just
a
day
before
the
release,
producer
Suresh
Kamatchi
announced
that
the
film
had
been
postponed
yet
again,
however,
the
team
managed
to
sort
the
issue
and
decided
to
go
with
the
previously
announced
release
date.
Well,
recently
talking
to
a
leading
tabloid,
Suresh
revealed
that
although
Maanaadu
has
turned
out
to
be
a
profitable
venture
for
the
distributors
and
rights
holders,
he
didn't
earn
any
profit
with
the
film
as
Silambarasan's
previous
project
Eeswaran
didn't
perform
well
at
the
box
office.
He
went
on
to
say
that
he
feels
happy
to
have
produced
such
a
film
adding
that
Simbu's
upcoming
film
Vendhu
Thanindhathu
Kaadu
will
be
a
profitable
venture
for
the
producers.
Talking
about
Maanaadu's
business
so
far,
the
film
has
grossed
more
than
Rs
50
crore
with
its
theatrical
run
worldwide.
The
film
minted
close
to
Rs
8
crore
on
its
opening
day
in
Tamil
Nadu,
becoming
the
4th
best
opener
of
the
year
after
Master,
Annaatthe
and
Karnan.
Well,
with
its
9-day
theatrical
run,
the
film
is
said
to
have
acquired
a
net
collection
close
to
Rs
38
crore
(India).
Reportedly,
on
its
tenth
day,
Maanaadu
garnered
Rs
2
crore
(approx-net)
with
its
theatrical
run
in
India.
Directed
by
Venkat
Prabhu,
the
film
also
stars
Kalyani
Priyadarshan,
SJ

Raja,
