'Naayak did it for 'Annayya'

Megastar Chiranjeevi's 'Annayya' was released on 7th January, 2000 while Victory Venkatesh's 'Kalisundam Raa' was released on 14th January, 2000. If 'Annayya' was made with mass elements, 'Kalisundam Raa' was touted to be a family entertainer. Both the movies got blockbuster successes at the box office. However, 'Kalisundam Raa' had got slightly more collections than 'Annayya'. 

Interestingly, Chiranjeevi's son Mega Power Star Ram Charan's mass entertainer 'Naayak' was released on 9th January, 2013 while Victory Venkatesh's family entertainer 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' was released on 11th January, 2013. Both the movies got the statuses as blockbusters at the box office. However, this time Ram Charan showed a clear lead of collections through 'Naayak' than 'SVSC'. Subsequently, Cherry has taken the revenge of Chiranjeevi's after a gap of 13 years by collecting more than Venkatesh's movie for Pongal.
