NTR Mahanayakudu is turning out to be a huge embarrassment for Balakrishna and Nandamuri fans.
The film failed to recover theater rentals in some centers on its day 1. Actual share on first day will be below Rs. 1 crore worldwide, according to trade sources.There wouldn’t be much monetary loss for the makers that sold the film for extravagantly high prices.
It will go down as the forgettable start to Balayya’s home production, NBK Films. Disasters are not new to Balakrishna who had a string of flops for years together in his career so far. He will move onto his next project very soon.
But the biopic has done so much damage to Krish’s reputation. He also walked out of Manikarnika for the sake of directing NTR biopic.Failure of Kathanayakudu and the fight over direction credits of Manikarnika has taken a toll on him.
He was hoping that Mahanayakudu will give him some relief, but the film is already heading towards an all time disaster in Balakrishna’s career.A movie with Krish was on the bucket list for superstars like Mahesh and Charan. They may not dare to check that box in the near future.
Krish will need something miraculous and super sensational to put this embarrassment behind and move ahead in his career.
