Over the years, the market for Tollywood has increased immensely in the USA due to a significant rise in the Telugu diaspora. This is clearly reflected in the box office performance of Telugu films in North America, which is comprised of the USA and Canada. Jr NTR is one such actor from Tollywood who enjoys an immense pull in this territory.
RRR was Jr NTR’s first 100 crore grosser in North America, but his real test was Devara, as RRR had a brand of SS Rajamouli backing it, along with the presence of Ram Charan. NTR did show his pull as his action thriller clocked a fantastic start. However, it slowed down after the first few days, but it managed to reach a good number.
