NTR’s mania in the USA; Devara pre-sales begin on a historic note

It’s been so long since NTR’s solo film was released, and hence, fans are waiting with bated breath for the release of the PAN Indian film Devara. The film, written and directed by Koratala Siva, is set for a grand release on 27th September. Janhvi Kapoor is making her Tollywood debut with this heavy-duty action drama.

The advance bookings have already commenced in the USA, and the initial response is historic, to say the least. Within a few hours, the film sold close to 2500 tickets, amounting to a gross of $75K. Many shows are already sold out, while others have phenomenal occupancies. These are just limited bookings, and one can imagine the kind of rampage with full-fledged advances.

Kalki 2898 AD, headlined by Prabhas, holds the all-time record in Telugu for USA premieres with about $3.4 million (Total NA – $3.9 million). We need not be surprised if Devara breaks Kalki’s record, provided the NTR starrer shows the same momentum until the release. Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist while Anirudh is composing the tunes.
