Biopic of NTR was expected to be one of the memorable films in Telugu film history.Balakrishna firmly believed that it will be remembered for a long time, which is why he took away the reins as the producer of Kathanayakudu and Mahanayakudu.
At least Kathanayakudu opened on a decent note and collected somewhere close to Rs. 20 crore in its full run.Although the estimated losses were above Rs. 50 crore, it wasn’t too big an embarrassment for fans as it received positive reviews.
But Mahanayakudu is set for a bigger embarrassment. The film has posted an all-time low collections for a Balakrishna starrer on day 1.Thanks to the fixed hires, else it would have collected on par with RGV’s epic disaster Officer on its first day.
Second day morning shows trends are shockingly low that it could run into deficits on dat 2 itself.Mahanayakudu is turning out to be no less of an embarrassment for Nandamuri fans as Officer was for Akkineni fans.
The film is getting heavily trolled on social media that diehard fans had to go hiding until it is forgotten.
Meanwhile, pro-TDP media is looking for positive responses and reviews and posting them in the hope of fooling some people into watching the flop show.
