"This is one of the strangest moments in the history of Telugu cinema. A Telugu film's team are proclaiming that their ordinary super hit film crossed the share of the gigantic hit Baahubali. There were many fake records of Tollywood before. But then, this overboard faking of collections made entire movie fraternity and movie lovers shell-shocked," said a movie lover who was shocked to have seen the new poster of Sarileru Neekevvaru which reads, "All time industry blockbuster (Non-BB 2 in Telugu states).
"In fact, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo achieved aforesaid feat claimed by SLN. Nevertheless, team AVPL, showed respect on Baahubali without mentioning non-BB 2 highest share," added the movie lover.
Team SLN claims that the film breached Rs.113 crore share and thus crossed Baahubali the Beggining's full run share. As a matter of fact, SLN collected just Rs.86 crore share for 16 days. To sum up, there is a difference of Rs.27 crore share in Telugu states alone between the numbers shown by film's team and the actual numbers.
"If at all three major multiplex chains collections of AVPL and SLN are considered, they are at the ratio of 24 crore and 15.80 crore. This example, itself, gives an idea which is the clear winner. Even then, it seems team SLN desperately tries to satisfy ego of the hero. De facto, it can't get satisfied," quipped a trade source.
SLN was directed by Anil Ravipudi under Sri Venkateswara Creations and AK Entertainments.
