Recent releases of Chiranjeevi, Kudumula
Both Chiranjeevi and Kudumula have faced setbacks with their recent releases. Chiranjeevi's last film, Bhola Shankar, was a remake of the Tamil hit Vedhalam but failed to impress audiences. The movie reportedly earned ₹42.25cr worldwide against a budget of ₹100cr. On the other hand, Kudumula's latest directorial venture, Robinhood, starring Nithiin and Sreeleela, also underperformed at the box office with a worldwide collection of just ₹11cr against an estimated budget of ₹65-70cr.
