Putting the Top stars aside, Nani and Vijay Devarakonda are the leading stars in the tier 2 heroes in terms of craze, business, openings, and box office milestones. But with Hanuman Teja Sajja emerging as a promising star, he aims higher than Nani and Vijay Deverakonda.
There were some analyses that Hanuman is a one-time wonder and Teja cannot carry such big hits afterward. But he proves them wrong with sensational business and openings for his latest film, Mirai, and he proves himself as an established star.
The trade expects Mirai to do 100 Cr gross in Telugu states and 150 Cr gross worldwide. If this happens, Teja Sajja will be the 1st Tier 2 hero to achieve this milestone, as even Nani and Vijay Deverakonda, or any other Tier 2 star, did not achieve this milestone.
Mirai is having a rampage weekend at the box office, with all areas’ Day 2 advances being 30% higher than opening day.
