Megastar Chiranjeevi scored another disaster in the form of Bhola Shankar, a remake of superhit Tamil film Vedalam, directed in Telugu by Meher Ramesh. The movie opened worldwide on August 11 to negative response and heavy criticism.

After putting an end to his series of remakes which didn't perform well at the box office and ended up as flops, Chiranjeevi reclaimed his position as the megastar of Tollywood with this year's Sankranti release, Waltair Veerayya. The movie made about Rs 225 Crore and more worldwide.

However, the latest action entertainer Bhola Shankar again tanked at the ticket counters miserably. Against a budget of Rs 101 Crore, the movie so far could collect only Rs 23 Crore. The film produced by Anil Sunkara under AK Entertainments is barely close to the break-even point.

Chiranjeevi's film was opened to huge fanfare in the overseas, a bit earlier than back home. Fans were excited for the release but all their enthusiasm turned into disappointment after the premiere. Check out the final closing collection (USA) below.

From 425 locations, the movie only could make $476,942, which is equivalent to Rs 3.96 Crore only.

In Bhola Shankar, along with Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah, Keerthy Suresh, Sushanth, Tarun Arora, Murali Sharma, Sayaji Shinde, P Ravi Shankar, Shawar Ali, Hyper Aadi, Harsha Chemudu, Rashmi Gautam, Sreemukhi, Tulasi, Satya, and Bithiri Satthi among others played key roles.

The movie is co-produced by KS Rama Rao under his Creative Commercials banner. Dudley cranked the camera, and Mahati Swara Sagar composed the film's background score and music. Marthand K Venkatesh worked as the film's editor.
