As Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No.150 and Balayya’s GPSK were clashing at the box office, many predicted that one of the films would eat away the revenues of the other. However, surprising all, both the films have found their niche audiences and become decent hits. Analyzing what worked in the favor of the films, GPSK director Krish said that cross-promotion really helped both the films.
‘Actually, the films of both these legends releasing at the same time was a blessing in disguise. I and Balayya garu made sure to speak good about Khaidi No.150 in all of our interviews and Chiranjeevi garu did the same for our film. Had these films released on separate occasions, neither film would have garnered so much positive publicity,’ Krish explained.
He has once again used serious words at some fanatic fans who resorted to trolling of competing heroes. ‘I felt ashamed of going to twitter for the past 10 days. Even well educated people are using demeaning language against legends such as Chiru and Balayya. Because of the shameful acts of these caste-fanatic fans, the true fans are also getting backlash from average movie goers,’ he said.
