Ram Pothineni’s The Warrior is all set to release on 14th July and trade circles have pinned high expectations on this action entertainer. After a series of unsuccessful films in June and early July, fans are hoping that this Lingusamy project will bring the much-awaited fire to the box office.
However, reality seems to be far from true. The Warrior is seeing below-average advance bookings and it has raised some concerns among the trade circles.
The advance bookings have opened in Hyderabad and they are shockingly low. The bookings started on a very poor note and it has to pick in the next 1-2 days to get a good opening. Theatrical rights for Ceeded have fetched the makers Rs 6 crores while the Andhra region has been sold for a massive Rs 18 crores. Nizam region has been acquired in the Rs 12-13 crores range. The Telugu version rights will be in the range of Rs 40 crores making it the best theatrical business in Ram’s career.
Kirthi Shetty, who made an impressive debut with Uppena last year is paired opposite Ram in this film. The Warrior is being made on a grand scale and lavish budget and Srinivasa Chitturi is producing this film. The film is being shot simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu.
