100 is not just a number but a powerful statement in the Telugu Film Industry. 100 crores are the dream for many Telugu heroes and a benchmark for the top stars of Tollywood.
Among the top 6, Prabhas has achieved this long back in 2015 with Bahubali: The Beginning. Mahesh Babu has been continuously been achieving this target for the past few years. Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikunthapurram Loo and Pushpa: The Rise comfortably crossed this benchmark. Ram Charan has also achieved this feat with Rangasthalam.
This leaves Jr.NTR and Pawan Kalyan who has not managed to touch this milestone. But Jr.NTR has not had a release in 3 years and will easily cross 100 crores in shares with RRR. This leaves just Pawan Kalyan who has not managed to cross the 100 crores share despite having such a hardcore fanbase.
But in Pawan Kalyan’s defense, things have not been in his favor. Vakeel Saab was released with positive talk but was affected due to COVID-19. Similarly, Bheemla Nayak opened to overwhelming positive talk but has collected 85 crores in shares in 9 days. This is mainly due to low ticket prices in AP and the lack of ticket hikes.
Bheemla Nayak enjoyed a sensational weekend but dropped drastically after the festival period. It is impossible for the film to cross 100 crores with Radhe Shyam entering the field on March 11th. This means that Pawan Kalyan will have to wait a little while longer to join the elite 100 crores share club.
