The much-anticipated action-packed extravaganza, 'Skanda: The Attacker,' directed by the dynamic Boyapati Sreenu and starring the charismatic Ram Pothineni in the lead role, is all set to hit screens on September 28th. With Sreeleela and Sai Manjrekar as the leading ladies and the scintillating presence of Bollywood sensation Urvashi Rautela in a special song titled 'Cult Mama,' the movie has generated tremendous buzz among cinema enthusiasts. Notably, 'Skanda' is not limiting its appeal to just the Telugu-speaking audience but is also releasing simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
On the first day of its release, 'Skanda' will face stiff competition from Raghava Lawrence and Kangana Ranaut starrer 'Chandramukhi 2.' Nonetheless, 'Skanda' is poised to make a significant impact, and there's a possibility that it may collect a whopping Rs. 10 crores on its opening day, marking a triumphant start to its box office journey.
With a lavish budget estimated to be around Rs. 50 crores, 'Skanda' is poised to make a grand entrance onto the global cinematic stage. The massive scale of the film's release has raised expectations sky-high, and it's not without reason. The film has already secured a remarkable pre-release business figure of Rs. 46.20 crores worldwide, setting a new benchmark for Ram Pothineni's career and adding to the anticipation surrounding the movie.
Breaking down the pre-release business further, 'Skanda' managed to rake in a staggering Rs. 13 crores in the Nizam region of Telugu states, an impressive Rs. 8.50 crores in Seeded territories, and a whopping Rs. 19.50 crores in Andhra Pradesh. In total, the film's pre-release business in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana stands at an impressive Rs. 41 crores. Additionally, Karnataka and the rest of India have contributed Rs. 3 crores, while the overseas market has chipped in with Rs. 2.20 crores.
Taking into account these figures, 'Skanda' boasts an impressive worldwide pre-release business of Rs. 46.20 crores. To break even, the film needs to cross the Rs. 47 crores mark, making it a hit only if it manages to surpass this target. The stakes are undeniably high, but the movie has already garnered significant attention.
As the release date of September 28th draws nearer, trade sources are predicting a fantastic start for 'Skanda.' Initial estimates suggest that the film could rake in a remarkable Rs. 8 crores on its first day. If these predictions hold true, 'Skanda' could become the highest-grossing movie among tier 2 heroes, following Nani's Dussehra release.
