Allu
Arjun's
latest
film
Pushpa
has
done
a
fair
business
at
the
box
office
with
Rs
67.24
crore
(share)
coming
in
the
first
week
with
its
theatrical
run
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana.
On
Friday
(day
8),
the
film
acquired
close
to
Rs
2.38
crore,
making
the
total
share
collection
Rs
69.62
crore
and
gross
Rs
105.50
crore
(approx).
Though
the
film
was
expected
to
pull
more
audiences
to
the
theatres
during
its
second
week
run
at
the
theatres,
looks
like
the
super
success
of
Nani's
Shyama
Singha
Roy
hindered
the
collection
hunt
of
Pushpa.
Let
us
tell
you
that
SSR
was
released
on
Friday
(December
24)
along
with
Bollywood
actor
Ranveer
Singh's
83
(Telugu
version).
Well,
going
by
the
performances
of
these
films
in
theatres
looks
like
Pushpa's
collection
might
decline
in
the
days
to
come.
The
Allu
Arjun-starrer
was
released
on
December
17
and
opened
to
a
mixed
response.
Though
the
leading
man's
acting
chop
was
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
entertainer,
the
technicalities
of
the
film
didn't
shine
as
expected.
Written
and
directed
by
Sukumar,
the
rural
drama
marks
his
third
collaboration
with
the
actor
after
Arya
(2004)
and
Arya
2
(2009).
Arya,
also
starring
Anuradha
Mehta
was
Sukumar's
debut
film
in
Tollywood.
Pushpa
has
been
produced
on
a
large
scale
by
renowned
bankrollers
Mythri
Movie
Makers
and
Muttamsetty
Media.
Rashmika
Mandanna
is
playing
the
female
lead
in
the
film,
while
Fahadh
Faasil,
the
renowned
Mollywood
actor
appears
in
the
role
of
Bhanwar
Singh
Shekhawat
IPS,
the
main
antagonist.
As
the
name
suggests,
Pushpa:
The
Rise
displays
the
rise
of
a
driver
in
the
smuggling
syndicate
of
red
sanders.
Pushpa
was
released
in
Telugu
along
with
the
dubbed
versions
in
Malayalam,
Tamil,
Kannada
and
Hindi.
