Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's Paisa Vasool is set for a grand release on September 1. According to the trade reports, the movie is doing a pre release business around Rs.40 crores. Trade pundits are estimating that the film would need Rs.42 crores to fall into profit zone.
Balakrishna's previous film Gauthamiputra Satakarni accumulated close to Rs.50 crores collections. But then, the film had many advantages. The film was released for Sankranthi season. Moreover, TDP biased media made special promotions on the film against Megastar Chiranjeevi's Khaidi Number 150. Besides, audiences connected with the historical genre of the movie.
Paisa Vasool, however, has been made as a regular commercial potboiler. Balakrishna's real stamina at the moment will clearly be known after the film's release. Of course, Nandamuri fans are fully confident that Balayya will slap his thigh again with the super success of Paisa Vasool.
Shriya and Muskaan have played romantic interests of Balakrishna in Paisa Vasool. Maverick director Puri Jagannadh has directed the movie on Bhavya Creations.
