Prince Mahesh Babu's 'Businessman' was released for this Pongal and registered a decent hit at the box office. This movie has collected a share of almost Rs.38 crores in its full run. Only, in Overseas area, the movie could not get required number of collections.
As per the latest gossips, it is heard that R.R.Movie Makers, who produced and distributed the movie Businessman, are shutting down their distribution offices due to the losses being faced by them. The first week collections have taken up as remunerations by Mahesh Babu, Puri Jagannadh and Manjula. However, the movie had to face losses from its second week run onwards, and subsequently, it led a big loss to R.R.Distributors, and they are closing down their distribution offices.
Meanwhile, many trade people are condemning the above gossips and are clarifying that R.R.Distributors closed their offices for some financial as well as political reasons, but not for the losses being incurred with Businessman and in fact, Businessman is undoubtedly a profitable venture for everybody except for Overseas buyers.
