Hi Nanna: What a Twist!

Nani’s Hi Nanna is a surprising case. Everyone expected it to struggle at the box office and possibly end up like another Ante Sundaraniki.

‘Ante’ fared well in the U.S. but failed in India, yet it gained a fanbase. Initially, Hi Nanna faced fears from Animal, but positive word of mouth led to a significant turnaround.

Today, Hi Nanna will surpass $1.5 million in the U.S., with major recoveries in Telugu states, entering profit margins this weekend.

This success might encourage actors like Nani to pursue such films without the fear that emotional stories are only for OTT audiences, not theaters.

Apart from the performances, debut director Shouryuv’s writing and Hesham’s music played pivotal roles in its success.
