Ravi Teja's upcoming film, Mr. Bachchan, is set to release on August 15, 2024, with premieres on August 14. The film, a remake of the Hindi hit Raid, has generated significant buzz, thanks to its massy Trailer and super hit music by Mickey J Meyer along with good promotions. Director Harish Shankar has teamed up with Ravi Teja after a long gap, and the entire team is confident about the film's output.
With a dearth of notable films since Prabhas's Kalki 2898 AD, trade experts expect Mr. Bachchan to take a big opening on August 14 and 15. The film is packed with entertaining and commercial elements, making it a potential box office hit. However, it needs to make Rs 40+ crore to achieve Hit status, with a total theatrical business of Rs 35+ crore in Telugu states and Rs 7 crore overseas.
The pre-release business has been locked at a solid price, and the makers have already sold the OTT rights to Netflix for a fancy price, recovering half of the film's budget. However, Mr. Bachchan faces competition from another biggie, Double Ismart, directed by Puri Jagannadh and starring Ram Pothineni.
Despite the competition, Mr. Bachchan has generated significant hype, and its success will depend on its performance at the box office. With its entertaining and commercial elements, the film has the potential to attract a large audience and become a box office hit.
