Nobody could ever imagine that a movie on biggest Telugu mass actor and star would fail to ignite fan frenzy. NTR Kathanayakudu, the first part of NTR biopic ended as a failure at the box office.
Movie theatrical rights have been acquired for a total of Rs. 71 crores and it just collected Rs. 12.58 crores share in first weekend. The festival advantage is also not working in favour of the film.
Movie seems to be ending as a disaster at this point and we have to wait for NTR Mahanayakudu to decide if the biopic completely failed to ignite interest or if it is just the idea to make it in two parts, that did not work in its favour.
