Samantha is a brand! Ever since she debuted, Samantha has a commanding position at box office. She created a separate fan base that is comparable to male stars. There are only few actresses who could maintain this stardom for so long. Movies like Oh baby!, U turn are the testament to her stardom.

Digital rights were taken for 24 crores in exchange, satellite rights were sold for 13 crores, overseas theatricals got 2.5 crores.
Telugu state’s theatrical business is sold for 11 crores. In other languages, the production house is releasing the film on its own.
These numbers are significant for a woman centric movie. Samantha’s fans are proud that their star has achieved this rare feat. Probably she is the only actress in Telugu at present to enjoy this much stardom at in the movie market.
