Naga Chaitanya and his Sailaja Reddy Alludu have a big target to achieve. The film’s theatrical business is done around Rs. 25 crore according to trade estimates.So the film will need to collect Rs. 25 crore to be a safe venture and a few crores extra to be termed as a hit. However, Akkineni fans are hoping that the movie will launch Chaitanya in the next league.

Chaitanya has a few films that have collected around Rs. 22 crore to Rs. 27 crore before. But he couldn’t go past Rs. 30 crore mark as a solo lead.With his contemporary actors like Nani and Sharwanand becoming Rs. 30 crore actors and with the likes of Vijay Deverakonda taking over him, Chaitanya needs to deliver a big hit with Sailaja Reddy Alludu.

Maruthi is a bankable director who makes mass friendly movies. His brand value will surely become an added advantage for the film besides Ramya Krishna’s presence.Can this be the game-changer for Naga Chaitanya? Can he deliver a big blockbuster and enter the Rs. 40 crore club as a solo lead?

Sailaja Reddy Alludu is hitting the marquee on this Thursday.
