When Ram Charan’s ‘Dhruva’ missed the Dasara festival release, the next option before the star hero was Sankranthi. However, Charan chose to leave aside this option as he had already planned to release his father megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No.150’ for Sankranthi. In such scenario, he had no other option but release Dhruva in unseasonal month, December and take a huge risk. The young mega hero did it and he is a very happy man now as both his hard work and sacrifice paid off.
First, Charan’s hard work and courageous decision in the case of Dhruva turned fruitful after the film raked in Rs 56 Cr share despite being released in December and in the aftermath of demonetization. Had the film released in a better season, it would have collected at least Rs 10 Cr more.
Now, Charan’s sacrifice has also paid off in the form of a blockbuster like Khaidi No.150. As Charan felt his father’s comeback film was more important than his image makeover film, he reserved the Sankranthi slot for Khaidi and the commercial entertainer has already amassed Rs 70 Cr worldwide share in just 6 days. At this speed, it would be no wonder if the Chiru starrer amasses Rs 100 Cr share and become the only second film after Baahubali to do so.
Buoyed with the success, Charan has already started preparations to produce Chiru’s next film on a much bigger scale.
