Chiranjeevi 150th and Balakrishna 100th are getting ready to take a plunge into Box Office battle field on the same day of January 11th next year. This is a buzz generating subject in trade circles. Obviously, ‘Khaidi No 150’ and ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ will try to take hands on domination one over other. May it be bagging highest number of release screens or converting their Fan following into ticket counter cash; producers, distributors and exhibitors are set to go all out.
For this year Sankranti race, a similar situation prevailed between Junior NTR ‘Nannaku Prematho’ and Balakrishna ‘Dictator.’ We have also heard plenty of news on Balayya and TDP government officials resorting to pressure tactics on theater owners ensuring the allotment of more release screens for ‘Dictator.’
TDP being the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh, Mega Fans are skeptical on Satakarni to use his power nerve over Khaidi. However, distribution circles in East and West Godavari commented interestingly.
‘Chiranjeevi is not as weak as Jr NTR to succumb. We will allot the screens based on craze and trade requirements so that both movies get a comfortable release,’ an interesting statement indeed.
