Hero Ram’s dry spell ended with ‘Nenu Sailaja’ which managed to collect around Rs 15 crore Worldwide in the first week. Prior to the release, even this energetic hero wasn’t sure about the success of the movie. In one of the interviews, He commented: ‘I’m picking routine commercial films as they fetch good revenues, whereas experimental or off-beat films don’t receive such a patronage’.
Success of ‘Nenu Sailaja’ will surely change Ram’s wrong perception and makes him realize audience were always willing to embrace good content. No other film of Ram collected Rs 15 crore in just 7 days and its still running successfully in all the centers. Housefulls were recorded in 90% of the screens throughout first week and ‘Nenu Sailaja’ entered Second Week with 450-plus screens.
In Overseas, ‘Nenu Sailaja’ has done terrific business and the total stood at $600K so far. For the second week, It is being screened in 64 locations to hold on to the No.1 Position until Sankranti releases hit the screens. On a whole, ‘Nenu Sailaja’ saved Ram’s troubled career to a great extent.
