Few more hours to go to witness the mania around the Telugu States as Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab is set to hit the screens tomorrow, April9. The film benefit shows have already been sold out like hotcakes and fanfare in terms of explosion of crackers and throwing color papers and garlanding Pawan hoardings have kick-started in full swing at the theaters.
Setting aside the craze Pawan carries, Vakeel Saab pre-release business raked in Rs 83.35 crore. Thus for Vakeel Saab to be declared as a hit, the film needs to rake in Rs 84 crore at the worldwide box office. Interestingly, Vakeel Saab pre-release business is tepid considering his last, Agnyaathavaasi which collected Rs 160 crores.
Owing to the debacle Agnyaathavaasi resulted, there is poor response for Vakeel Saab pre-release business, but having said advance bookings have been done in jet speed and benefit show tickets have sold out like hotcakes. Going by the trade, Vakeel Saab appears to hold strong in the first weekend. Remake of Bollywood film, Pink, Venu Sriram’s film stars Nivetha Thomas, Anjali, Ananya and Shruti Haasan in a cameo role.
