Murari – Mahesh Babu’s Second Re-Release Too
Mahesh Babu’s movie Businessman was re-released last year. Over one lakh tickets were sold for that movie on Book My Show as well. This makes Mahesh Babu the only actor whose movies have sold over one lakh tickets on Book My Show twice in re-releases. Previously, Tamil star Thalapathy Vijay’s movie Ghilli also sold over one lakh tickets.
Interestingly, that movie is a remake of Mahesh Babu’s Okkadu. However, Mahesh stands as the only actor to achieve this feat in two consecutive re-releases. Besides these, there is a chance that Murari tickets will also sell heavily at theatres, adding another record to Mahesh’s account.
