Madness in Telugu states
Jr NTR has always been a superstar with a crazy pull among the masses in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Now, with RRR becoming a global phenomenon, NTR has reached new heights of stardom. His RRR was released in March 2022, and since then, there has been a gap of almost two and a half years since the actor arrived on the big screen. So, it’s a kind of epic comeback for him.
The crazy advance booking has been majorly backed by Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, with two states amassing a staggering 36+ crores gross through opening day pre-sales alone. This is simply superb and is going to help Jr NTR register his career-best opening (solo) by a humongous margin.
