Pawan, Mahesh: Are You Ready For NTR?

Till the other day before Koratala Siva’s ‘Janatha Garage’ isn’t finalized for Junior NTR, the virtual fight for Tollywood No1 seat was a musical chair game between only two heroes Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu. If commercial stamina of films and off screen characters being considered as standard gauges to determine characteristic attributes of a Numero Uno hero, then Junior NTR is back into the big race.

Apparently, ‘Temper’ began the equation consolidation program from NTR side which further grew to a higher level with ‘Nannaku Prematho’ taking him into a dream 50 Crores club. As of now, ‘Janatha Garage’ pre release business hinged approximately at Rs. 70 Crores (excluding the satellite rights) posts the arithmetic calculations opening the doors for NTR to enter into Tollywood Top 3.

If at all, ‘Janatha Garage’ evolves as somewhere near to 100 Crores film for its basic strength in content and NTR presence, then the challenge is directly hanging on Mahesh and Pawan’s heads to either beat it or accept the defeat. Of course, all these are preliminary assumptions and we get more into reality when the film hits the screens in September. Anyways, the threat is glooming for Pawan and Mahesh to make the battle for top chair tripartite.
