Natural Star Nani is inarguably the numero uno hero among Tier 2 cadre heroes. He has been steadily increasing his market with each film. Especially in the US, his films open to very huge numbers. But, the opening of his latest film, Krishnarjuna Yuddham (KAY) is a shocker to buyers.
As per reliable trade reports, KAY collected nearly USD 155K from US premieres. Shockingly, this figure is almost half of the premieres gross of Nani’s last release, MCA, which raked in a mammoth USD 304K. This shocking performance resulted despite KAY being Nani’s widest release in US yet.
Trade analysts reason that in the case of MCA, Dil Raju’s brand and Sai Pallavi popularity also contributed to record such a huge number from premiers. But, in the case of KAY, the only crowd pulling factor is Nani. Even his double action couldn’t fetch a big number like MCA.
For comparison, Nani’s non-MCA highest premieres – Nenu Local (160K) and Ninnu Kori (159K). So, KAY’s 155K is a decent figure if we ignore MCA. But, such massive drop when compared to the last release is worrying buyers, especially since the film has received below par talk.
