Once upon a time it was a common practice dragging 10% to 20% of centers for 50 days, 100 days and 175 days of movies in spite of deficit in collections. Seeking all time records in centers it turned out customary and mandatory for the filmmakers to run the super duper hit films in maximum centers.
However, ace director Rajamouli intensely opposed this trend. In his latest interview he admitted Simhadri and Magadheera running maximum centers was the biggest blunder of those filmmakers. Hearing his words, everyone heartily appreciated Rajamouli's sincerity.
If the gossips are to be believed, unfortunately, Baahubali 2 filmmakers are going against the will of Rajamouli. Buzz is doing rounds that the film is all set to complete its 50 days run in 200+ direct centers on 16th of this month. However, most of the centers maybe run with full of deficit of centers.
According to the reports Baahubali 2 collected just Rs.8 lakhs in Nizam area on its 35th day (yesterday). And this share was generated from single digit number of theaters. All the remaining screens recorded deficits. Yet, the film is running for 50 days in most of the centers.
In Chittoor, the movie is running in 30 screens and 20+ screens are in deficits. In Nellore, Prabhas' fans targeted Magadheera's highest 50 days centers record of 18 centers. Currently, BB 2 is running in 23 centers. Reports say, 10 screens are currently dragging and the number will be increased soon.
In East Godavari, Gabbar Singh's 24 centers record has been targeted. The film is surely expected to beat this record with dragged centers.
Real fans of Rajamouli are now wishing the ace director to discuss on the said issue with the producers and to take needful action. Else, once again Rajamouli has to skip to 100 days function of another industry hit.
