There are box office records and there are Rajamouli-mark box office records, which will give nightmares to other top-tier stars who try to come even remotely close to the tallies of Rajamouli’s films. The same is happening in the USA now and here’s the story.
Rajamouli’s previously three outings, Baahubali 1, Baahubali 2, and RRR have made $6.86 million, $20.57 million and $12.05 million(counting) at the USA box office.
Allu Arjun’s Vaikunthapurramulo which had blockbuster audio, Trivikram factor, and encouraging reviews, could make $3.6 million, which is around half of Baahubali 1’s tally.
So, let alone Baahubali 2, even beating RRR’s tally is going to be an astronomically unfeasible task for any Telugu star no matter how strong the permutations are. In fact, their numbers are more than enough to give nightmares to other directors and star heroes.
Only Rajamouli is in the position to rewrite or at least come close to the box office records he is setting in the USA market.
The next benefactor of brand Rajamouli will be Mahesh Babu as the duo look set to collaborate for SSMB29. Both Mahesh and Rajamouli enjoy strong market in the USA and we should wait and see how this film fares there.
