Fans celebrated this occasion with great enthusiasm, turning Mahesh’s birthday into a spectacle across Telugu states. The anticipation to witness Mahesh’s intense performance on the big screen was palpable, resulting in packed theaters and additional screenings to meet the high public demand.
Under the direction of Puri Jagannadh, this action-packed entertainer set a new standard for re-releases in most territories. It shattered previous records, even surpassing Pawan Kalyan’s “Kushi,” which held a worldwide opening day gross of around Rs 4 crore.
“Businessman” comfortably crossed this mark, achieving an impressive margin. The opening day collections were remarkable in key areas: Nizam: 2.44 crore, Ceeded: 35.6 lakh, East: 34.2 lakh, Uttarandra: 42.1 lakh, Krishna: 26.5 lakh, Guntur: 31.4 lakh.
The film’s success story began even before its re-release, as “Businessman” set an unprecedented advance booking record for re-released films with a staggering 2.35 crore in bookings nationwide. This unexpected craze surpassed expectations and, in many regions, the excitement for “Businessman” exceeded that of new releases for the same weekend.
