It looks like, excluding Chiranjeevi, no other senior hero can achieve 100Cr in the Telugu film industry. It is widely known that after a gap of almost a decade, Megastar Chiranjeevi has returned with a 100Cr share film, Khaidi No 150, also a Non-Baahubali Industry Hit. After that, he scored 100Cr again with Syeraa Narasimha Redd and Waltair Veerayya.
So Chiru has scored three 100Cr films overall. But his competitors find it very tough to join this club, and they may not even enter next year. That is why we can say that excluding Chiranjeevi, no other senior hero can achieve 100
Senior Hero Nagarjuna is entirely out of form, and even if he gives a comeback, getting a 40 – 50Cr number is very tough for him now. Venkatesh, who has only the F2 series, which worked for him in recent years at the box office, and his joining the 100Cr club also seems entirely out of reach for subsequent years.
Coming to Nandamuri Balakrishna, he is in good form lately and scoring back-to-back hits, but the numbers of his films are in the 70Cr range only. Akhanda, Veera Simha Reddy collected around the exact figure, and now Bhagavanth Kesari is also likely to end up in the field of 70Cr only. It seems achieving the 100Cr club is impossible for other senior Heros, and Chiranjeevi’s next film will quickly join the 100Cr club.
Mega156 can surpass expectations if the movie opens with positive WOM, as there is already a huge buzz around the film as the film genre is fantasy, and it will show three different worlds on a rich budget.
