Tamil star hero Suriya has finally scored the much needed hit in Telugu as his latest release, “Gang” has proved to be a winner at box office. Despite opening on a low note, the heist thriller sailed on aggressive promotions, Suriya’s visits to theatres, decent talk and Sankranthi season.
By the end of its first week in theatres, Gang collected nearly 6 Cr share from the Telugu states. This is a commendable performance considering that the Suriya-starrer collected under 90 lakhs share on its first day and also the fact that it competed with two biggies – Agnyaathavaasi and Jai Simha. The film grossed 12 Cr at worldwide box office in the first week, and heads towards becoming a hit.
