Mahesh Babu
Mahesh Babu’s commercial entertainer Sarkaru Vaari Paata has become the fastest Telugu movie to collect Rs 100 crore (worldwide) at the regional box office.
The film surpassed the Rs 100 crore-mark in five days, making it Mahesh’s fourth consecutive film to enter the coveted club. The actor, who has been in the news for claiming that he doesn’t feature in Bollywood films because the industry cannot “afford” him, took to Twitter to express his gratitude. “Overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for Sarkaru Vaari Paata. To all my super fans, a heartfelt thank you for making this film a blockbuster success. Gratitude always,” he shared on the micro-blogging platform.

Radhe Shyam failed to make a mark at the box office
On the other hand, other big-ticket Tollywood movies Radhe Shyam and Acharya failed to perform. Acharya, which was released on April 29, had a poor start, and collected only Rs 41 crore over the first weekend. The film, starring Chiranjeevi and his son Ram Charan, has a total collection of Rs 45.2 crore.
The theatrical run of Radhe Shyam was cut short. The big-budget movie had struggled to generate significant revenue due to poor word of mouth.
At the end of its theatrical run in all languages, Radhe Shyam earned Rs 83 crore, while the theatrical rights were a whopping Rs 200.5 crore.
Sarkaru Vaari Paata has been directed by Parasuram Petla, and also stars Keerthy Suresh.
