Natural Star Nani is growing from strength to strength with each movie and looks to pose a threat to the present top heroes in near future.
Nani’s career started with super hit romantic comedy ‘Ashta Chamma’ and he it followed up with another solid commercial hit ‘Ala Modalaindi’. After Rajamouli’s ‘Eega’ happened, he allegedly tried to cash in on his image and scored a string of flops. However, he was never criticized for his acting abilities even in flop movies.
The actor has then revived his career with ‘Yevade Subramanyam’ and ever since there is no looking back. He has delivered five hits (Majnu is above average) in a row and his latest film ‘Nenu Local’ is looking to complete the double hat-trick if we go by the trade reports.
Although Nani has the ‘Natural Star’ tag, he isn’t yet considered a star even on par with the likes of Ravi Teja. We don’t see much hungama either on social media or at theatres for his films. They are shot with safe budgets and have a low key release compared to the biggies of others.
However, the stunner comes in the form of collections. The opening day figure for Nani’s movies is steadily rising. Nani doesn’t have a devoted fan base to amplify the collections but fans of all heroes watch his films as they have earned the brand of having minimum guarantee content and commercial elements as well.
Lets have a look ta the US Premiere collections to get a clear idea.
Below is the Top 5 USA Premiere Gross for Nani:
# NenuLocal – USD 160,716
# Gentleman – USD 72,418
# BBM – USD 70,132
# Majnu – USD 58,370
# Eega – USD 42,408
One can observe that Nani more than doubled his previous best with Nenu Local. Performance of his movies is no different in the Telugu states. His films silently come, have steady run to fetch at least average status and each film keeps helping him grow his market.
Trade analysts expect that Nani’s rise will soon land him among star heroes of Tollywood.
