Can Mahesh Babu match the success of Attarintiki Daaredi?

Pawan Kalyan-starrer Attarantiki Daaredi, which turned out to be the biggest hit of 2013 in Telugu industry, is celebrating its 100th day at the box-office today. As we look back at the records it set and its success, we wonder will any other film in the same language ever break this record.

While several big-budget films such as 1, Yevadu, Race Gurram and many more getting lined up for release but one is not sure if these films can reach the success of AD, let alone even think of breaking it. Which other actor has the capacity of going on to score a blockbuster despite the film being leaked online few days before the scheduled release? Which actor can score such a big hit without even aggressively promoting his film? Finally, which other actor enjoys a mass following as much as Pawan Kalyan has been enjoying over the years.

Mahesh Babu seems to be the only actor who seems to have some chance of breaking records set by AD with his upcoming film 1:Nenokkadine. The strong pre-release buzz of the film has already attract lot of attention and going by the initial response to the film, it might likely go on to break records in the industry.
