Looking into the collections of 'Naayak' and 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' in all the areas of India, 'Naayak' has clearly dominated 'SVSC' in all the areas except in Krishna and East Godavari Districts. Well 'SVSC' has EG slang spoken by Mahesh and Anjali, and the traditions of the same district are shown in the movie, obviously, the movie got a little better collections than 'Naayak' in EG area. However, at the end of the four weeks run of both the movies, 'Naayak' collected Rs.2.32 crores share while 'SVSC' collected Rs.2.81 crores share in Krishna area. So, a huge difference of Rs.49 lakhs is seen as per DCR reports. Why this big majority of collections by 'SVSC' more particularly in this area? Is there any strange reason.
Mega fans of Krishna district are coming up with some allegations on the distributor of this area. They complain that the distributor deliberately made 'Naayak' not to get sufficient theaters in festive season. The movie was bought by Mutyala Rambabu while it was distributed by another person. The person distributed 'SVSC' also in this area. During festival days, 'SVSC' was allotted 7 theaters in Vijayawada city while 'Naayak' was allotted just 3 theaters. In multiplex, 'SVSC' was screened 24 shows, while 'Naayak' was screened just 10 shows on the day of Pongal. It is also known that 'Naayak's collections were not shown in DCR reports of many centers. The buyer Mutyala Ramdas, himself, also wondered as he saw 'Naayak's screening was done in Gannavaram, but it was not shown in DCR reports. Interestingly, a film weekly magazine reported the collections of 'Naayak' and 'SVSC' in only Krishna area and EG area to show 'SVSC' better than 'Naayak'. But why this bias on 'SVSC'?, some of the observers say, caste factors are responsible for this kind of strange happenings.
