Tollywood Superstar Mahesh Babu has an enviable track record at the USA box office. He was a trailblazer for setting many new milestones there with his films. On the other side, Trivikram Srinivas is one of the most loved directors among the Telugu diaspora in the USA.
So, a film under the combination of Mahesh Babu and Trivikram Srinivas has the potential to take a thunderous opening. That is what Guntur Kaaram is aiming for.
Guntur Kaaram is getting ready to take an earth-shattering start at the box office on January 12th. In USA, the opening is going to be nothing short of humongous as the craze is simply phenomenal.
The overseas distribution house has locked more than 5400 shows for the premieres and this is the biggest ever release for an Indian film.
Going by the advance sales in USA, Guntur Kaaram is all set to rake in more than $ 2 million on its first day including Thursday premieres. Prabhas’ recent outing Salaar is the only non-Rajamouli Telugu film that opened on a strong note in recent years. Now, Guntur Kaaram is likely to emulate all other records with a terrific start.
Trade circles are predicting that Guntur Kaaram will target the $ 5 million club in its full run because both Mahesh Babu and Trivikram are the biggest crowd pullers in USA. Previously, Mahesh Babu’s Bharat Ane Nenu touched the $ 3.4 Million mark and Srimanthudu was the highest-grossing non-Rajamouli film for so many days with $ 2.8 Million.
Guntur Kaaram will stand a chance to emerge as the highest-grossing film in Mahesh Babu’s career by the end of the first weekend itself if it manages to get an impressive talk from premieres.
Trivikram’s previous outing Ala Vaikunthapuramloo amassed $ 3.5 Million in USA. So, there are strong chances for the director to have some records under his name with Guntur Kaaram.
As Salaar performed exceedingly well with more than $ 8.5 gross, Guntur Kaaram has a very good chance to surpass the $ 5 million mark in its full run. If the film can achieve this milestone despite the heavy competition, both Mahesh and Trivikram will be next to Prabhas and Rajamouli in terms of box office stamina in USA.
