Raghava Lawrence, the director 'Rebel' is having a huge craze among the masses as a director. Perhaps, his previous hits made him to get this craze. There is an instance to show his craze as a director. In East Godavari district, 'Rebel' movie's rights were sold out to a whopping of Rs.2.40 crores. On the other hand, Prabhas's new movie Vaaradhi( title will be changed) was sold out to only Rs.1.90 crores for this area. Since the movie is being directed by Koratala Siva, the debutante director, the movie had done Rs.50 lakhs less business than that of 'Rebel'. That is the power of Lawrence as a director.
In spite of the mixed talk, 'Rebel' is running with good collections all over the state. The movie collected a share of Rs.11.14 crores at the end of its three days run in AP only. Milky beauty Tamannah and Deeksha did the romantic interest of Prabhas in this stylish action entertainer. The movie was made on Sri Balaji Cine Media.
