Tollywood's
energetic
star
Ram
Pothineni
is
trying
to
create
a
new
image
of
an
allrounder
and
has
been
picking
up
stories
that
make
him
experiment
and
challenge
himself,
in
terms
of
looks
and
performance.
For
the
first
time,
the
actor
joined
hands
with
mass
director
Boyapati
Sreenu
for
a
full
heavy-action
film.
Story
Bhaskar
(Ram
Pothineni)
is
a
happy-go-lucky
youngster
who
is
a
student.
He
teases
and
takes
an
interest
in
Sreeleela
(Sreeleela),
who
is
the
daughter
of
Telangana
CM.
Sreeleela's
brother
is
in
love
with
Andhra
Pradesh
CM's
daughter
and
the
two
Chief
Ministers
turn
rivals.
On
the
other
hand,
Rudrakanti
Ramakrishna
Raju(Srikanth)
and
his
daughter
Parineeti
(Saiee
Manjrekar)
are
in
their
lowest
phase
of
life
by
spending
time
in
prison
and
a
hospital,
respectively.
Rudrakanti
Ramakrishna
Raju
is
Bhaskar's
uncle.
Why
did
Bhaskar
come
close
to
Sreeleela?
What
is
his
agenda?
How
Bhaskar
handles
the
situation?
is
the
crux
of
Skanda.
Skanda
Box
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.
