Nithin starrer “A Aa” has almost come close to the collections of “Sarrainodu” in its first week run. Though “Sarrainodu” has grossed more than the Nithin’s movie in its first week, it has ended with Rs about 60 Cr share in its full-time run.On the other hand, “A Aa” has grossed about Rs 50 cr in its first week and current trends say the film would also gross Rs 100 cr. “A Aa” is extremely strong in USA and Nizam markets and it is expected to continue the dream run for the next 10 days.

“So the film has legs to cross the total collections of Sarrainodu’s Telugu version,” said a Trade analyst.Sarrainodu was the biggest hit this year so far. The film received negative reviews but due to Summer Holidays period and Allu Arjun’s pulling power it sustained at the box-office.

Nithin, on the other hand, is not a big star but brand Trivikram and it being the last Summer movie helped getting huge revenue in its first week.Producer Dil Raju also said that the movie has potential to cross 60 Cr share. If it really does, Nithin would beat Allu Arjun.
