Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy Karnataka Theatrical Rights: Chiranjeevi Loses To Prabhas And Rajinikanth
Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, featuring Tollywood legend Chiranjeevi in the titular role, is arguably one of the biggest Telugu movies of the year. The film's teaser was released yesterday, much to the delight of movie buffs. Now, here is some worrying news for 'Mega' fans. According to reports, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy's pre-release theatrical business in Karnataka has proved to be no match for Saaho and Rajinikanth's 2.0. Here is the full report.
Prabhas Beats Chiranjeevi
Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy's Karnataka theatrical rights were sold for Rs 27 crore, which grabbed plenty of attention. Despite raking in a good amount, the film lost to Saaho as it raked Rs 28 crore in the region.
No Match For 2.0
Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy also failed to beat 2.0, which ruffled a few feathers. The Shankar-directed movie's Karnataka theatrical rights had fetched Rs 30 crore, which served as strong proof of Rajinikanth's star power.
Beats Baahubali
Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy has, however, beaten Baahubali. The SS Rajamouli-directed movie had fetched merely Rs 17 crore for its Karnataka theatrical rights. Interestingly, Baahubali's success helped Baahubali 2 rake in a phenomenal Rs 37 crore for its Karnataka theatrical rights, which remains an all-time record.
It Could Have Done Better
The general feeling is that Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy's Karnataka theatrical pre-release revenue could have been a lot better as it features Kannada star Sudeep in a key role. It remains to be seen whether Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy proves to be a commercial success in Karnataka.
About Sye Raa
Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, directed by Surender Reddy, is a period-drama that revolves around the exploits of a rebel/freedom fighter and highlights the atrocities committed under the British rule.
