Prince Mahesh's 'Pokiri' scored an industry hit in 2006. This record was later broken by 'Magadheera' with double the margin. Later, 'Atharintiki Daredi' beat the full run shares of 'Magadheera' with a little margin.
Ever since 'Magadheera' broke the collection records of 'Pokiri', Mahesh's fans have eagerly been waiting for an industry hit. Although 'Dookudu' scored a blockbuster at the ticket windows, it could not reach to fans' expectations of becoming an industry hit.
And now, Young Rebel Star Prabhas' 'Baahubali' is going on great guns with thumping collections everywhere. If at all this movie scores an industry hit, the target will be more tougher for Mahesh for an industry hit. Even then, fans are hoping Mahesh's upcoming film 'Srimanthudu' would break all previous records and stand as an industry hit. Let's wish for it to happen.
