The failure of Bhola Shankar, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s latest film, is known to everyone. The film’s openings were disappointing compared to Chiranjeevi’s previous films. The response received by the audience and collections both were disastrous. The most surprising thing is that people did not see Bhola Shankar even on holidays. Bhola Shankar was removed from all theaters in just two weeks due to such a terrible result. Now the film is ready to be available on OTT from tonight.
The movie’s digital rights were bought by the OTT giant Netflix, and the buzz is the film will be streaming on Netflix from 18th September, i.e, from tonight 12 AM. Nowadays, most of the Telugu films are being released on OTT after 4 weeks of theatrical release, but Bhola Shankar will make its Digital debut after 5 weeks of its theatrical release even though it became a big disaster at the box office.
Bhola Shankar’s Telugu states rights were valued at Rs 76Cr approx and the movie completely crashed with collecting zero shares in each territory. August 15th was the last day for the film and if we consider only share from the Telugu states it is not even 20Cr. The makers have incurred around 60Cr loss including P&P in just Telugu states, which has never happened in the Telugu cinema history.
Directed by Meher Ramesh, the film, Bhola Shankar is a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Vedaalam. Keerthy Suresh played the role of Chiranjeevi’s sister in the movie, which is set against the backdrop of Kolkata, banking on brother and sister relationship and Tamannaah plays the female lead. Sushant also played a key role. Anil Sunkara has produced the film on the AK Entertainments banner.
