Simbu has finally scored a much-awaited hit with Maanaadu. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, this sci-fi action thriller has grossed Rs 23 crores in just three days making it the best opening of his career.
Adding to this the movie has achieved breakeven in just three days with theatrical rights valued at Rs 13 crores. Maanaadu is heading towards being a huge blockbuster. This hit is a huge relief not just for Simbu, but director Venkat Prabhu as well whose last few films failed to strike big at the box office.
This is the second blockbuster for Kollywood in recent times after Sivakarthikeyan’s Doctor which created a rampage at the box office and has been doing well on OTT platforms as well.
Maanaadu stars Kalyani Priyadarshan as the female lead with SJ Surya portraying the negative role. The film follows the story of Simbu who is stuck in a time loop and has to find a way to get out of it.
