Although Chiranjeevi has left Tollywood for politics, Telugu movie lovers feel that he is still the ‘Numero Uno’ as any of the heroes contending for the top chair were unable to impress as what was done by Mega Star from long long ago. ‘Simha’ is finally concluded to have grossed somewhere between Rs. 40 to 50 crores giving new hopes for the industry, Balakrishna just bounced back into the big league after a tedious journey.
Time has become so crucial that, with three top releases of the year scheduled in next two to three months, once again the subject of ‘Who will replace Chiru for Number One?’ has come to the fore. Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu and Jr. NTR getting ready with all their weapons on battle over BO with Komaram Puli, Khaleja (Tentative Title) and Brindavanam respectively, approximate cost of these three films is nearly Rs 100 crores.
Pawan Kalyan with SJ Suryah for ‘Komaram Puli’ is considered as biggest commercial entertainer of the year with enough power punches from Power Star. Coming to Mahesh Babu, Trivikram combo which shaked BO with ‘Athadu’ earlier is the most promising one along with Anushka while Junior NTR’s ‘Brindavanam’ is a safe family entertainer for an image change over for Junior.
With all three stars holding their own priorites and their own mania in market, final winner for Number One may not be declared even after these releases but atleast a clear picture may come into the sight. By the way, even Ramcharan and Prabhas are ready to settle the scores but only after this 100 crore big fight.
