Mahesh Babu is one of those Indian actors who did not find their touch in the post-COVID era. If we look at the performance of his films in isolation, the collection of his films look good at the Indian box office but considering the massive investment behind them, the numbers are underwhelming. Shockingly, none of his post-COVID releases have managed to emerge as a clean success in the domestic market. Keep reading to know more!
Mahesh Babu is one of the biggest superstars of Tollywood. Today, there was a special occasion for him and his fans as he celebrated his 49th birthday today. On this auspicious occasion, his 2001 film Murari is released in theatres in the Telugu states and also in some selected locations in overseas. As per trade reports, the film is witnessing a terrific response among fans. Not just Murari but even other re-releases of the actor have witnessed superb responses in recent times. Unfortunately, the same isn’t the case with his new releases.
After the pandemic, the first film of Mahesh Babu was Sakaru Vaari Paata. The film could have been made on a moderate budget, but the salary of the superstar took the cost up to 140 crores, as per reports. It took a solid start, but eventually, it ended the run at just 138 crores at the Indian box office. Going by the box office thumb rule, the film must recover its cost through the domestic run. So, in this case, the film fell short of recovering the budget by 2 crores.
