After the massive success of RRR, Jr NTR will next be seen in Devra.
The 4K re-release of Simhadri failed to cross the total re-release collection of Pawan Kalyan’s Kushi.
There has been a trend of re-releasing old Telugu movies in the past few months. These films are being remastered and released in 4K quality on the birthdays of the actors. Some of the films that have already been re-released include Pokiri, Jalsa, Gharana Mogudu, Billa, Chennakesava Reddy and Kushi. One of Jr NTR’s timeless classics, Simhadri also released recently on his birthday and received a positive response from the audience.
The re-release of Simhadri in 4K earned significant collections on the first day but fell badly on the next day. In its opening day, Simhadri made an impressive collection for the Nizam, earning Rs. 1.06 cr. The film’s total collection on the first day stood at Rs 2.90 crore. Moreover, the film made a remarkable collection of Rs 4.01 crore worldwide on the first day. However, it fell just short of breaking the record set by Pawan Kalyan’s Kushi.
Here is the breakdown of its total collection,
Nizam: ₹1.15 crore
Seeded: ₹92 lakh
Cost: ₹31 Lakh
Ex: ₹18 lakh
West: ₹14 lakh
Thunder: ₹23 lakh
Krishna: ₹24 lakh
Nellore: ₹13 lakh
Total Collection in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana (AP-TG): ₹3.30 Cr (Gross)
Karnataka: ₹26 lakh
Tamil Nadu: ₹11 lakh
Rest of India (ROI): ₹15 Lakh
USA: ₹49 lakh
Japan: ₹11 lakh
Rest of the World (ROW): ₹18 Lakh
Total Worldwide Collection: ₹4.60 Cr Gross
Simhadri was directed by SS Rajamouli and written by his father K Vijayendra Prasad. The film was a huge success at the box office when it was initially released and received critical acclaim from both audiences and critics alike.
After the release of RRR, actor Jr NTR took a long break before starting the shooting of his next film Devra exactly a year later. Currently, the production of Devara, directed by Koratala Siva, is progressing rapidly, and it is scheduled for a worldwide release on April 5, 2024.
Apart from this, Jr NTR has two more important projects. She has signed a film directed by Prashant Neel, which will start after the completion of Devra. Usually, the actor focuses on one film at a time. He has also agreed to play a lead role in the much-anticipated Bollywood film War 2. In this action-packed thriller starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR will portray the antagonist character.
