Although ‘Dookudu’ stood firm taking the position as second topmost grosser of Tollywood after ‘Magadheera,’ a novel discussion in trade circles now is who will cross Mahesh Babu next? A view at current trend in Telugu film market shows that opening first week collection records are to play crucial and dominant role in deciding a movie’s overall performance. On this basis, we might have four heroes who have proved their complete worth at least once at BO and they are Ramcharan, Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan and Junior NTR.
In near future, there is no film from Junior NTR because ‘Dammu’ is presently in search of new heroine. When Mahesh Babu is already on the top, he too is out of race because irrespective of the business of ‘Businessman,’ he is the one to be crossed and Ramcharan is already on the top with ‘Magadheera.’ This leaves Pawan Kalyan as the only hero who needs to re-approve his BO stamina. Well, time will say…will it be ‘Gabbar Singh’ or ‘Panjaa’ that will top?
