Skanda
is
the
latest
heavy-action
mass
entertainer
coming
from
Tollywood's
energetic
star
Ram
Pothineni.
For
the
first
time
in
his
career,
Ram,
who
aced
the
mass
avatar
with
Ishmart
Shankar,
layered
up
a
bit
more
for
Boyapati
Srinu's
Skanda.
Skanda
is
the
first
pan-India
release
for
Ram
Pothineni,
in
which
he
collaborated
with
the
hottest
beauty
of
the
Telugu
industry,
Sreeleela.
The
movie
is
going
to
hit
the
screens
worldwide
on
September
28.
Skanda
Premise
Bhaskar
(Ram
Pothineni)
is
a
rough
college
student
who
is
on
a
mission
to
avenge
his
family's
loss.
The
movie
is
touted
to
be
an
emotional
action
drama
with
high-octane
mass
sequences
and
fights.
Ram
Pothineni
sported
a
beefed-up
look
and
messy
hair
for
the
role
unlike
before.
Skanda
Early
Office
Prediction
After
Nani's
Dasara,
there
have
been
no
such
big
openings
for
tier
2
heroes
in
Tollywood.
Ram
Pothineni's
Skanda
is
now
carrying
hype
to
achieve
or
beat
the
openings
of
Dasara.
The
movie
is
expected
to
make
about
Rs
8
Crore
on
its
first
day
from
all
centers
across
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
alone.
But,
on
its
first
day,
Skanda
made
about
11.
5
Crore
and
it
surpassed
opening
day
expectations.
However,
due
to
the
lack
of
substance
in
Boyapati's
directorial,
the
movie
had
to
see
a
drop
in
figures
the
very
next
day.
Day
1:
Rs
11.5

Day
2:
